Default removing front bumper.. got 3 bolts out but the last one just spins

The last bolt I can not remove just spins, seems to have stripped the threads. ANy advice on getting it out? it is the passanger side outer one. I was just removing the bumper so I can remove the bottom cover (I like the look without them, so i wanted to try it ).

Well if the threads are stripped then you should be able to pry it out with a flathead screwdriver.

heres the thing, the bolt goes through , so the portion exposed isnt , so i cant pry it or try pushing it from underneath..

Ill try some more methods tomrrow. Maybe push it more from underneath while trying to turn it out,.

Well good luck, we all know how you feel when one bolt grinds your whole operation to a halt.
