You have all sorts of problems with that little scooter. Take it to the dealer and have them replace them with new ones.

Exactly, extract it.....you can get an oil syringe and tubing from amazon for less than $20, easy.
But if just the heads of the bolts are rounded off, a set of proper sized vice grips should be able to grab them once good, then replace them.
