Didn't know that as my Ca. spec bike comes with the part installed already.
All I can think of is placing the allen head wrench in the bolt head and slipping a snug fitting piece of steel tubing over the shaft.
If that didn't move it I'd try an industrial grade penetrant like Kroil. Soak a cotton ball with it, squish down on the bolt, leave it for a while and try again.

well yeah. It is a little allen bolt. I forced a piece of tubing on it and it came right out. I fucked with it for quite a while before i did the tubing thing cause i couldn't get to it. A bitch of a place to get at.
If that doesn't work, cut an allen wrench end off an force it into some tubing or a small socket with the cut off allen in it.

Could you get a 4mm. Allen key into the bolt head using long nosed pliers or a haemostat? How about a 1/4" drive ratchet, universal joint, extension and a 4mm. Allen socket?
It's been a while since I removed the one on my VTR and I've forgotten how I did it. I do recall having to replace the brass fitting after an eager mechanic decapitated it. I needed decent access to the area to remove the remains so I took off the gas tank and air box.

Yes, just add a piece of vacuum line with a straight fitting and plug so it's easy to get to the next time you want to sync your carbs. Then add a "T" fitting (which you also leave in and plug when you are done) to the line to the vacuum petcock and sync'ing becomes a 5min job.

went out and got a allen socket that would fit it. i was able to fit it right in there, then i proceeded to strip the bolt. now i know it wasnt my tools that was the problem.

It's such a small diameter bolt that drilling it accurately in order to use an easy out would be difficult unless you removed the head. I'd be more inclined to remove anything that might catch fire or melt from the area, heat it with a head gun and try to loosen it with pliers. I don't know if you have enough room to slot it with a dremel and use a big screwdriver or impact driver. These situations are a huge PITA. I have to be in a state of inner peace to avoid making problems like this worse.
