I have a  Helicoil repair insert if I need it, but does anybody have any tips 
on getting  the old bolt out.

It looks like it would be pretty hard to drill a  small enough hole  to get a 
screw extractor in  there.

    I drill those out all the time. Then I run a tap  and everything is as 
good as new. Also, unless the bolt is fresh and not rusted,  if you use the 
extractor on a rusted bolt you will break it, then you will  have more troubles 
than you wanted.
