they make a tool i think its called an easy out you dill a hole with a drill in reverse and then you flip the bit over and use the other side and it backs out the screw out or you can cut a lil slit in the top of the bolt and just big enuff for a flat head screw driver and use that

Use a dremel with a bolt cutting bit to sink a small slit in it. And as said, use a screw driver to turn it out.

If you torqued the shit out of it (which I'm guessing you did) then you might have to drill it out and retap it.

Ummm you should never need two hands to tighten a battery bolt. If you are using two hands you risk doing exactly what you did.
