If its jsut the head of the bolt stripped, take a torx socket and hammer it on the head it should come out that way,

Worst case, grind the head of the bolt off with a dremel. Better solution is to center punch the bolt head and drill it off. Drill into the shaft of the bolt, and when the drill bit gets deep enough, it will turn the remaining bolt head into a doughnut on the drill bit.

Then the throttle body will come off, and a pair of pliers can grab the remaining bolt shaft.
