Default Changing fork seals, stripped socket bolt

Did one of my forks and when I got to the other I couldn't get the socket bolt off. This is the allen bolt that goes up through the bottom of the fork and screws into the damper. I rounded out the hole using a nearly brand new allen wrench. I'm going to try to pound in a torx later and get it out that way. Any suggestions? I don't know if an easy-out would work since the bolt is REALLY torqued in there.

I think you may find this one to be more of a drilling experience with lots of patience
required... when time becomes of more value ...... grab one from ebay

You could try welding an Allen key into the top of the bolt - I'm busy with fork seals on a CB750 ATM.
