--Update----

The bolt is officially too damaged for a socket.
I can still use the boxed end wrench.

I searched this forum and read Mike Yi's recommendation to use PB Blaster. He said to use it a day before and an hour before. Well, it is a bit late for me but perhaps late is better than never in this case. The PB Blaster ordered.

Three questions to 986 experts in this forum.

1. The bolt IS LEFT-HAND FASTENED meaning I must turn clockwise to loosen it, yes?
2. How to remove the stripped bolt? The battery is fully charged. I can drive to a mechanic. 3. Is it time to give up and seek an expert?

Thanks in advance.
