Stripped allen bolt head (not threads)

I stripped the interior of the 5mm Allen bolt used on the steering bushing clamp in the smugglers box.

I was wondering if I could get a recommendation for a good easy-out or grabit bit like quality product that really works (I'm a little skeptical). I read another post and tried using my dremel to notch it for a screw driver but that didn't go well. It's a little hard to get a good angle and the cut deep enough w/o hitting the clamp edge, and I've got no welding equipment.

I also saw Wil Ferch's admonishment to use good quality clean allens - looks like I'm guilty. I am not touching the second one until I get a new tool.

Thanks very much.
