Default help - rounded off allen bolt.

I've just been tinkering with the bike - and managed to round off the inside of a small allen bolt.

I've tried hammering in a allen head the next size up - and also one of those star shaped shingies (torx or something?) Anyway that didn't get me anywhere.

So what the best way to get it off. I was thinking of buying a dremmel anyway, so if i get one of those could i cut a notch in the head and use a flat head screwdriver to get it out?

Or should i just gaffa tape it all back together and ride it round to my local bike spannerman to fix it.

I'm such a tw*t. Everytime i try and do something myself i have to ride it round to friendly spannerman and get him to fix all the bits i've broken.
