I stripped the allen bolt on the rear break any ideas on how to get it out without taking it into the shop? I am trying to swap the rotors and am kind of stuck now.

Drill it and use an ezout (Screw Extractor). Depending on the size you could also grind a slot in it and use a hand held impact with a flat tip.

sometimes but not allways you also can pop it with a hammer(the head of the bolt) a few times to impact the bolt loose or looser before you perform the ubove help

It took me about 2 hours and multiple attempts I broke a brand new set of vise grips 2 allen wrenches, and a cheap screwdriver. Screw Extractor wasn't an option due to location and I do not have a welder so I could not try those approaches . What finally got it was taking a large star screwdriver bit and hammering it into place then using a ratchet and small breaker bar on it. Thanks for the help all.
