Thanks

    if it is allen key type then use hacksaw to cut a slit in head so you can use a flat skrewdriver to undo it

    Or drill the head off.

    The bolt is an allen type and is recessed so drilling is probably the best option. Anyone know a good place to get a replacement bolt (9spd 105 mech)?

    If it's an Allen bolt then a Torx bit should get enough bite to undo it. Replacements should be easy to find in your LBS or DiY store.
