If the head of the bolt is damages, theres no alternative but to drill the head of the bolt off, and remove the lower bolt, remove the tensioner pully and then unscrew the rest of the drilled bolt out, and replace with another one of similar length, OR the rough way, get a Star shaped Torx adapter, and BASH it in with an extension bar and undo it that way.. ;-)
