Well if you cant get it out and you are totally desperate, you could always cut the head of the bolt off with some sort of closed coat grinder. Missing one bolt wouldn't be the end of the world. By any chance did you try to tighten it up first then try to back it out normally. It could be just binding up somehow. Just a thought.

Well if this were my ride, I would remove the tranny and then try to use vice grips to remove the bolt. If that was unsuccessful then I would trim the stud flush to the block and use an easy out. If that wont do the trick then I would just be super careful and drill it out. Seriously be super careful because that block will be so much softer than that bolt. I get that out then I would run a tap through to clean up the threads. Worst case scenario I might just say screw it and go on without that one bolt. I dont think that 1 single bolt would be the end of the world and you should be able to get around just fine. There should be several more holding that tranny together so I wouldn't be too concerned about it.
