Default Help Please...Stock Front LCA Bolt

hey guys,
i'm installing my coilovers right now and for some reason i'm an idiot an used a shorter screw driver to punch out the lower control arm bolt. Problem is, it only went half way through the strut and is lodged in there. I tried jacking the lca up, but it didn't do anything. What should I do?

Disconnect sway bar end link and push down on the lca?

Yes disconnect the sway bar. It should be one of the first thing to do.
