How do you get stripped axle bolts off?

[allyscooterkid1998]

I recently bought a grit threadless fork and ordered a new headset, so when i put the wheels and compression on, these forks don't go very tight, therefore i have stripped the bolt trying to make it tighter :/ now my new diatech headset has arrived, and i cant install it as i cant remove the wheel from my forks to take the compression out. any ideas on getting the axle out?

Hmm... May be risky but get a size bigger allen key and try to hammer it in. That's what I did once. Sorry if this didn't help >:{D

take a regular 5mm allen wrench then glue it in the axle and untighten it

use a flat head that fits it and screw it out

Drill it out. Also this should go to the Wheels section.
