Had the same problem. The bolt is probably not stripped , but has corroded from the inside missing up the threads on the bolt not the threads on the manifold. I unbolted the four bolts on the manifold and pushed it out from the inside. Go to Ford and order the new bolt which is brass and is a blue diamond part #.
