Get a bolt remover kit
Vice grip
Grind off 2 sides flat, and make a wrench fit tightly
Any way you do it, you will need a new one

Autozone makes a set of sockets to remove bolts with stripped out heads. You just hit them on with a hammer and it'll remove the bolt no problem. And they're reusable so if u ever have a problem like this again you'll have the tool to handle it.
I'm dealing with the same issue on a yz 250 I just picked up. I plan on removing it this weekend and replacing it with a bolt similar to this: Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Yamaha Blaster YFS200 YFS 200 ATV | eBay
I haven't had any luck with vice grips, I will do the things already mentioned paired with a heat gun. Last resort it to drill it out use an extractor. Tap it to the next size up if the threads in the cases get trashed.

Pound the next size smaller socket on the head/bolt with a hammer evenly until it bottoms out ... Attach the socket handle and remove ! Simple as that .
Bolt out kit! You can buy it at autozone.
Its a whole kit for removing any stripped bolts trust me it will come in handy more then just this one time. Well worth the investment IMO.

I ended up cutting a slot with a grinder after breaking a few extractors (this has to be done very carefully!) and used an impact screw driver to get it out. Did you have any luck nickimus?
