Thank you Bob and Brian,
I have such a reluctance to apply heat to this critical area of the
spar (notwithstanding numerous references to the use of heat, albeit w/
extreme caution, to deal with mistakes like mine), that I would be
inclined to drill out the head of the bolt along w/ the flox, punch out
what remains of the bolt and replace it, rather than attempt to heat up
the bolt.
