You just pound that star shaped part into the rounded out Allen head bolt. It will dig in and turn the Allen head bolt out.
Oh! I've done that before, but you'll need clearance for a hammer strike. Heating it up as hot as you can would help too. But at that point, I'm likely to have already smashed the snot out of the head that there isnt much left to "form".
