I have the same problem. The one in the rearsets are sort of "set in" to the rearset so I think the dremel is out of the question. I've got some sweet easy outs but I haven't had the time to use them yet. I have used them on my quad before though and as long as they don't break off they work pretty sweet.

Extractors, dremel, impact driver, "chisel bits", etc.

Since these bolts are junk anyway, and you're on the rearset:

1) Take a drill a couple sizes bigger than the threads on the bolt.
2) Drill until the head pops off.
3) Take your rearset off the remaining "studs".
4) Grab that stud with vicegrips and twist it out, or use the slot cut method.
