if the bolts are just spining you will need to push the bolt part from the back of the hub so it stops spinning as you undo the nut

I can't see how this should help me. The bolts/nuts are spinning simply because they are stripped. This of course has nothing to do with the special shaped bolt head not being housed in proper location.
Why the bolts/nuts are stripped? Cause I torqued them to 60 Nm as the manual prescribes, which is much too high for this type of bolt. Max. for 8.8 M10 is like 47 Nm. Only found this out post-damage of course.
Appreciate your reaction TSM. Not sure though if the cracks are casting defects or induced by hooliganism.
If I can find another case of oem-cracks, say on one of yr sv's, then it would look like just cast-defects.
