Stripped alternator mounting bolt

Postiing this in case someone needs it.

Someone asked me how to deal with an alternator mounting bolt with a stripped head. This has happened to me before and a 13mm Irwin Bolt Grip socket worked great to get the bolt out:

Note that Irwin is a name brand. There are more generic brands that cost less, have more sizes and come with a case.
