[ST] Stripped Bolt Q

["Marc Danziger" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, so here's an actual motorcycle-related post.

We're working on Grace's MZ (she hasn't put up her post yet, so I'll skip
the details). It's a classic nail/horseshoe/war scenario...

The RH switchgear is damaged, so the starter button won't work. 

To get the switchgear off, so we can fix the button, we need to undo the
throttle cables at the carbs (not enough slack to do it at the barrel).

To get to the carbs we need to get the gas tank off.

One of the two bolts that goes from the mount into the tank body appears to
be stripped; it's just spinning - but won't pull straight out with
vicegrips.

Suggestions?
