There's a tool that I forget what auto stores call (in the military we call them easy outs) it's a
reverse threaded bit that looks like a dull drill bit. You drill a hole in the middle of the bolt using a center punch to start it. then you hammer the easy out into the hole you drilled and twist out, like you're removing a screw. They work like a champ.

it's gotta come out regardless... You should be able to re-compress the tensioner...
Once the pressure is off the bolt should be pretty easy to get out (vice grips) unless its totally snapped off in the block...
