They can be a royal pain in the ass. I have stripped at least three and drilled the tops out to remove. I went in knowing what I was getting into and read a lot of info prior. I replaced them with hex head bolts.

Removing the head rest prior to taking the seat out makes life easier.

If you have trouble you can always leave it for another day. A stripped bolt won’t stop you from getting to work.
