Good advice, using a dremel never occurred to me, was imagining using some larger hardware and risking the frame!
In regards to tyre talk you’re all giving very convincing arguments, however the most convincing argument to me right now is my shed is full of old bike parts, seatposts, saddles, wheels, tyres and handlebars.
Adding another set of barely used tyres to the pile is not sparking joy
Maybe this is the motivation to finally clear it all out, I’ve ordered some bubble wrap and mailing bags this afternoon, ill make a for sale post in the coming days for the random, now unused stuff I’ve hoarded building 2 bikes

Do what I do, ride excessively just to show them how much you hate them and then fit a new set.
Actually, what I'd do would be fit a new set and hang onto the old set for 3 years and then find another bike to put the old set on and THEN wear them out.

I think it would be easiest to cut the slot after you've removed the bolt from the bike.

Also on principle I refuse to 'buy' packaging for the crap I sell, just reuse (if you can).

You mean screw extractors?
Personally I’d rather get the dremel out than having to drill a 1mm hole in a m5 bolt made of hard steel that is stuck in a bike with risk of the drill slipping :)
Best long term solution is probably to have another bolt added so it’s clamped down by two bolts like a stem, but that would require some more Montana action.
Liked the long update but I am going to join the choir on the tyres. Those double fighters are almost one kg each, and I felt exactly like amey described it when I first read it.
Get some 2” race kings/g ones with latex tubes.
