woah dude, thats common when replacing subframes in corsa, it's the stupid torx sockets, they LOVE to slip, leaving you with a rounded bolt stuck in the floor.

Theres a few options, drill it out, or like you've tried cut straight across both ways, (get a cross head going on) then try fitting something into that to twist it out, i used a drill/piece and got stuck in.

I totally lost the rag the very first time i did it, and it's best to stay chilled dude

Well i had no choice but to get this out :/ so just got it out with a hammer the good old way lol, then tried get a nut wuthout having to grind anything, it didnt go so well, i think a butterfly bolt should work a treat, will go get one today, then need change me seatbelt buckle :/ lol
