I'd probably try an easy out first.... just be carefull not to tweak it one way or the other and snap it off.... spray WD40 all over in/around that bolt before trying it then give it a shot!

Ok that worked, I was able to loosen it up and unscrew it enough to get needle nose pliers on it. I'll have to order new one now.

I sheared a water jacket housing (aka thermostat housing) bolt on my old Civic and I just went down to NAPA and bought 3 new ones for like 2 dollars or something....
