Stripped Steering Wheel Allen Bolt
In attempts to remove the allen bolt holding the steering wheel to the column I ended up stripping the head.

I've tried bolt-out screw extractors without any luck. If I have to drill the damn bolt out I will, but I rather leave that as a last resort.

Get a chisel and try breaking the bolt loose by hitting it on a angle.
