Mondraker foxy carbon R bolt removal has hit a snag, help needed

The thing is, I'm not sure it should be how it is on the bike currently. It should just be a bolt that screws into the chip with spacers.

Part wise, ideally I'd only need the bolt tbh as long as I can get the ones fitted out, as once out, should be able to screw bolt into the chip rather than whatever has gone in to create what's there now. The next inside the bolt is impossible to use, it requires such a tiny Allen key you can't put any force through it.

But that is exactly what you've got; a flanged aluminium bolt with a hex on either end to give options for (dis)assembly, and the chip. Is the hex on the flanged side of the bolt also too rounded to use, or can you try that? It looks exactly like every other Mondraker I've seen from that generation.
