UPDATE - all those Bob Vila thinks wont work in this situation. The socket with all the little metal rods in it to use on stripped bolts has two problems. First - the diameter of the socket is larger then the diameter of the recessed hole on the XT crank arm and second, the Gator as it is actually called doesnt work on bolts that are round in shape like a crank arm bolt is on the outside.
So I had to use my Dremel and here where it goty really messy. Dremels like to jump around a lot and it jumped around so much that the threads on the inside of the crank arm got so ground that the crank extractor would no linger thread in. So I was forced to have to cut off the drive side crank arm which is not a fun thing to do. I just kept using the Dremel and cutting away until my hammer was able to smack it loose. All is well now and I am installing a new BB because the old one's splines were chopped by the dremmel, and a new set of XT cranks being installed.
