Project MU Pads and R1 Rotors

Just installed the front set. Project MU NS Type pads and Blank R1 Rotors. The stock rotors were warped which caused a shudder when braking between 40-80mph. After fighting with the caliper bolts for a little bit getting bruised and scratched. I can say its well worth it. Had the stock pads and rotors on there for 53k miles. No more shudder! Smooth and Quiet braking! The pads were well worth the money over the Hawks, plus they look nice on there too. Adds color.

Now for the rears next, if it rains today it will probably happen tonight. But I do have a issue. I took the back wheels off and looked at the bolts just for the heck of it and the passenger side 14mm caliper bolt looks like its stripped. The head of the bolt is smooth like somebody put a little too much force on it.
Any recommendations on getting that out and replaced?

Thanks!

I just bought a set of R1 cross drilled/slotted rotors to replace my OEM ones. I am excited to actually have stopping power!

The rotors work wonders so far, and thanks for help blk35 that was exactly what I needed. Go the bolt off and got a replacement.
