Any ideas on how to get the bolt removed or the back wheel off?
I suspect you're talking about a rounded hex socket in a thru axle rather than actual stripped threads. My first attack would be to drill the socket and use an ez-out (tapered screw with left handed thread) to remove the axle in the normal way. They're $9.99 for a set of 5 left handed drill bits and 5 extractors in Harbor Freight.
