Default Stripped head bolts

G'day everyone.

I've got 2 stripped head bolts (some tool decided they would set their torque wrench to infinity +1000 when assembling).

Does anyone know any magic tricks to get them out? Can't get any bight on them and i would like to keep the block. I dont really care about damaging the head if need be, but of course would prefer to salvage it too if possible. You8 can never have too many spares...

Thank you.
