    a blind hole puller should pull it strait out,make sure you didn't swell it in the hole,if you did it will be hard to get out,usually on those i give them a few good yanks with a puller and they come right out,try tapping back in on it a little and then use the blind puller on it again,it should come out then,good luck with it.

    WTF? "hitting a bolt in"??!! LOL

    (sorry, I couldn't help myself)

    You should have tried the right tool in the first place, but since I can't turn back time...

    Try screwing a lag bolt into it. It might loosen it up with the twisting motion, and if that still isn't enough, find an Auto Body dent puller to attach it to.
