SPD cleat stuck to shoe

I just got some new shoes about a month ago so I was testing out cleat placement. They needed to be moved forward a bit. All but one of the hex head bolts came out. It is totally rounded and stripped at this point. I hammered a flat head screw driver into it making a real nice slot and the head broke off in the damn thing when trying to unscrew it! I thought about drilling it out but that may ruin the piece that it screws into and it appears that the insoles to these shoes are glued in so I cannot add another femail conector in through the shoe like I could on all my other shoes. Any suggestions on how to get this sucker out? I did actually grease the threads and it's only been in there for about 3 weeks. It's totally rounded and beat to hell.
