dont feel like a dumbass ive lowered alot of c5s and those front bolts suck.. the best thing probably would have been use alot of wd40. oh and just so u know u turn the front bolts counter clockwise alot of people forget and spin them the other way..now that the bolt is stripped u can do two things either bring the car to a dealer and pay to have them install a new one "thats unless u have a warranty cause that could void it" or try drilling a hole in the bolt and maybe stick a screw driver in it so that u dont need a wrench...(just so u know i never did that before but almost did on my buddys car cause i couldnt get his front down. i think with the right tools u could make it work.)
