You will have to drill it and use an easyout.
Not a biggy if you have the tools.

Edit. Sometimes if the head brakes off, the thread can still be loose.
You may be able to turn it out with a spike or similar.

Yeah,what TMKIWI said.I'd try a gob of jbweld/loctite weld or similar on a smaller bolt and pressed on.Once set it may turn right out.Just don't put on too much so it presses out against the htreads.Otherwise,easy out time.

Good suggestions. The bolt is probably loose without the pressure of the head on it. Try the JB Weld with a smaller bolt, you should be able to twist it out by hand.

Thanks alot for the help! The spike worked well, slowly but surely. However, my bad luck didn't end there...

I finished the clutch, and starter to prep for the oil and when I took out this bolt...



 >:-D

So, JB weld the pieces and the screw in there forever?

A good welder could repair the damage.

It's on the right side of the motor, right next to the clutch cover. It's for checking the oil level I believe. I applied some JB weld for now to see if it holds.

I think you need to invest in a torque wrench or stop eating your Wheaties  :D

Lol! Perhaps. However this happened when I was unscrewing that hole, but now that I think about it, it's kinda expected. I once tapped this hole because it was stripped. And it's in a horrible condition and I can see now how it happened. I sealed with JB weld yesterday, and now it seems to be okay, very sturdy. Now I'm having clutch problems..

I think you need a new clutch assembly.

Assembly?? What about a new basket? Would it be risky to file it?
