Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update. So I was going at the internal cable guide with a really fine, small saw, basically cutting into it in order to get to the bolt better. Slowly started to get there and pulled off parts of the parts of the guide using pliers until finally I freed the screw. Tried a number of different avenues amongst others, torx, sawing a straight line into the bolt in order use a flathead, tried grabbing it with some pliers and turning. Anyway, the head totally came off so now I've got a rounded bolt stuck in there, so I'll just epoxy a new cable guide on top. Obviously not as great an outcome as getting the whole bolt coming out but all in all I'm actually quite happy with the result. Thanks for all your help and for anyone stuck with a similar problem - godspeed.
