I stripped a Shimano crank pinch bolt.
Yes, I'm a duma$$
In a hurry. Grabbed an old, worn allen and... ![]() Tried jamming a torx in there, no luck. Tried JB Welding an allen to the bolt head, nope. Next step is an EZ-out. Anyone know what size I need? They're numbered 1-6 and I don't know which corresponds to that bolt. I'm trying to not buy a big set.

How about taking it to a shop (bike or other) that has EZ outs and let them remove it for you? Several auto repair and motorcycle shops I knew had EZ Out sets.

The crankarm has two pinch bolts, right?
Tighten the good bolt to remove some pressure from the stripped bolt. Then try another allen wrench, Torx driver, etc.

I have a kit of reverse drill bits specifically for removing broken bolts, I think they were pretty inexpensive, the advantage is that unlike an EZ-out, they don't increase the diamater of the bolt when you use them.
