Stripped oil drain bolt options?

After having a track day on my 2010 Stratoliner, I ended up stripping one of the drain bolts, and now it won't budge. Is it possible to drain the oil using the other bolts, or do I need to remove the whole thing? I could really use some advice.
 
If one of the drain bolts is stripped and stuck, you can usually still drain most of the oil using the other bolts, but you might not get all of it though. If its the main drain bolt thats stuck, you may need to remove the whole pan or use an extractor tool to get it out. Best to fix it properly to avoid issues down the line.
