They come out easy as pie with a couple of extentions and the RIGHT socket.

Exactly! I have one as well, for the exact same reason!
I’m with others here, if the bolt head is truly stripped there are several methods to remove it, even if you have to as others have indicated destroy or take apart the starter to get more access.
