Stripped Center Stand Bolt - how to remove?

I attempted to remove the center stand from my 78 KZ1000A2. The left bolt came right out, but the bolt on the right hand side won't come out. The bolt keeps spinning and the threaded end of the bolt won't go through the tab. Either the bolt, the tread of the tab, or both are stripped.

Any ideas how to get this bold removed?

You have to turn it and press on it at the same time. I use an impact and then push it out with a screw driver.

Thanks guys! Big flat screw driver, a hammer and an adjustable wrench did the trick... B)
