Mark out a Pentagram with your own blood, set a candle at each point, lay the frame in the middle and chant "I must not over tighten brake bolts" backwards for 666 hours, works every time  :daumenhoch:
Do you grovel to your master? Do you beg like a dog?

If the head has just sheared off and it's not bottomed out or cross threaded, there's a good chance it will just undo with a pick.
If there's air in the tyres... it's a rider

cut a slot in the bit of bolt sticking up , dremmel with cutting disc is best but a junior hacksaw with a fine tooth blade will do ,make sure the slot is nice and neat,  get a flat blade screw diver to fit the slot , needs to fit nice n snug so shape the screwdriver with a file or the dremmel to fit , spray the bolt with WD40 and let it soak for a bit push down hard on the driver to stop it slipping and damaging the slot , turn left!!
