: Thanks for all of the advice.
: I never did get it out. I ended up just drilling it out and tapping to the next larger size bolt. It looks good and is functional.
: I ran into an interesting phenomenom though. While tapping the aluminum for the new bolt, I sprayed the tap and the hole with silicon for lubrication and cutting ease. The silicon reacted with the heating aluminum. A bubbly black ooze came off the the aluminum. It smelled like an acid. I don't know what happened but I don't think it was good.
