Might be worth checking your socket set (or a friends )if its an old one. Some old sets the half inch drive ones had what looked like a large flat screwdriver bit on a 1/2 inch socket. This would be ideal if you can cut a slot in the 'bolt' the problem with slots is getting a good 'shoulder' to get your driver in and getting enough downward pressure on the tool to stop it wanting to 'walk out'. Alternatively you can still buy flat blades to fit a socket, just like you can get torx , butterflys, and allen drives.
Good Luck.

Gonna have to give up on this, spending toooooooooo much time on it. I will try and get a replacement hub sent over, I have loosened the other pinch bolt and ball joint nut so hopefully the hub will come off. BUT, for now that's it folks

Couldn't find anybody with a used hub that would post to France. I bought a new drill and set to work drilling, in steps from 5mm up to 12mm, fortunately I have a bench grinder so was able to keep sharpening the bits, unfortunately when I was just about through with the 12mm the bit snagged and the drill spun around, my right ring finger took most of the force and is now badly swollen, I can’t use my hand, my wrist is also affected but not too bad. Can’t do much anyway as waiting for upper strut mount. But hey the bolt is out.

Pinch bolt and suspension top mount arrived today, I can now use my right hand (except the ring finger) so hopefully I might be able to make some progress
