Stripped bolt

Ive like messed up the screws on my board (dont have a clue how), but now i cant loosen the nut to switch the trucks.

Its hard to explain, but how can i get them off? they are too tight, and the skate tool little thing cant actually lock into the star of the screw. Any ideas?

Sounds really grommy, but yer help me out.

The drill dosent go in any further though, it just stops

Yes, straight into the middle, first with a drill bit that's narrower than the width of the bolt, and then finally with a drill bit about the same width as the bolt. A 5mm wide drill bit should be the biggest you'll need - that's a fraction wider than the shaft of the bolt, and about the same width as the holes in your deck.
