Well shit... Vortech oil dipstick stuck - head stripped

Posting this from the garage...

Anyone ever had issues getting their vortech oil dipstick off? I'm changing belts today, took the unit off just for convenience, and figured I'd change the oil while it was out. I put my 4.5mm wrench in there and SPIN, followed my gold metal shavings. It's been at least a year since I've had it off and theres been many track days and extreme heat cycles.

It's like... now what. Leave it on there I can still drive the car. Long term ideas anyone? I'm sure a guy can buy a replacement but how do you get it out now? I'll add pics later.

Thanks!
