If any of the bolt is left sticking out of the camshaft use a small pair of vice grips, if not, use a small hammer and pin punch to tap the bolt counterclockwise to get it moving and hopefully loose enough to remove with your fingers, if you end up resorting to drilling the bolt out make sure everything is covered so that no metal chips fall into the oil pan or anywhere else inside the engine. Those bolts only torque to about 30-35 ft/lbs (5/16 thread) and should not be bottomed out into the holes they thread into.
Sometimes you can use a cutoff wheel to slot the bolt and back it out with a screwdriver.
