I got it out!
As usual the guy in the bike shop was less than helpful, in all my 5 problems I had so that is another one I won't go to!
I used the dremel cut off wheel route. I ground the wheel down to a smaller diameter, which took a while as they kept breaking but I really didn't want it to catch the frame.
Once it was small enough I slowly put it into the hole and hoped!
The bolt was crap - really soft and the wheel went through so fast I nicked the edge of the eyelet, a shame, but no significant damage. The bolt was so soft that when I put the screwdriver in the slot it gripped easily and out it came.
I replaced both bolts in case the same thing happens on the other side!
