If it's down in the "hole from hell" at the outer end then I don't have much good advise for a stripped bolt.... Except to remove the bearing housing and pull the whole CV/axle assembly out where you can get vise grips on it. You'll probably have to remove the brake line and parking brake cable to get it out far enough. Good luck!
