Dealer is probably the best bet on this one. If you mess up drilling it out it will end up costing you much more than whatever the dealer will to get that bolt out. If you also ended up stripping that bolt were you using the wrong socket? I would think it would be extremely hard to strip it if the proper one was used but I understand mistakes can happen. Mad

If you use a well used, or cheap, hex driver it can often be damaged and the points rounded off, then if you try using it on a virgin bolt it can mess up the hex head. That sounds like what happened here.

It’s a 10mm allen. If you used an extension with only 4 sides, what do you expect to happen?

Are these the bolts for the engine? Assuming you are trying to remove them and fit frame sliders / protectors in place? If it is those bolts they are only torqued to 70nm from the factory. Use a good quality 10mm hex socket and it should have come straight out without issue.
Mine just same straight out. No threadlock or anything like that holding it in, just the torque applied at the factory which is not a lot. Most car wheel bolts are torqued to 100-120nm, so 70nm isn't a lot.
