i was in the process of taking the head off to get it machined and i found a stripped head bolt!!!!!!!! its #5 in the tsrm. wtf do i do??

ps: i cant turn it counterclock wise but i can turn it clockwise. can i use wd40?

EDIT: i got the bolt loose with first tighting the bolt then i took a mallet and hammered the hex socket so it got stuck to the bolt then i loosened it. at first i thought i stripped it even more so i went into a rage but then when i went back to look i loosended it. so help me with my other question about the crank. thanks. oh and can i use wd-40 on the head bolts?
