2022 Cannondale trail 4, 148 boost axle. Not had the back wheel out since new, its not moving and will definitely strip the hex. Question is I cant tell if the driveside has a bolt aswell, if it is thats stuck aswell. Tried slightly tightening before losing but its not shifting.
Can only find one thread on reddit about CDale axle with the same happening, no other info.
Failing this, how to remove a stuck rear axle with stripped hex, it seems pretty soft so I assume smashing a bigger torx in will just make things worse.
I'd take it to the local bike shop, they might be able to salvage it.
If you're committed to removing yourself then there has been lots of threads of stuck bolts on here over the years.

Is just one of them.
Gt85/wd40/etc release agent on the threaded end and leave overnight ?
Tried boiling water on frame as dont have a blowtorch, hex has gone, currently soaking with WD40 and getting screw extraction set tomorrow.
