Stripped lug cover bolt!

Flame on! Whatdup? Okay I installed the thermoquiets yesterday went ahead and decided to rotate my wheels as well. My back left wheel center cap the screw was completely crossed and all ****ed up. These babys haven't been removed since the dude put them on my truck at the shop.

So I go ahead and get the bolt out it turned out with lot of force. Completely ate the bolt up. The female part of the hole is ruined as well. I couldn't even get it 3 turns in on re-install.

I called the dealer up today, said my covers haven't been off the truck since the day I had them put them on the truck. That I would hope they could offer some help since Im a long time customer and been looking elsewhere for my next set anyway. O well have to wait till monday to get a answer. In the meantime I went looking today can't find another bolt that is chromed. Only ones I found was black.
