i suggest u......do what i said

Drill the small 2mm hole as close to the center of the bolt as u can *center punch, a good idea!*

then, using the bolt/stud extractors drive them into the hole. As they are lefthand thread once they lock into the hold (they are on a taper so eventually will) then keep driving and it will bring the bolt out

Top Tip! - lightly warm the aluminiuim frame as to increase its size and will bring the bolt out easier
