Default Tensioner pulley

I've been frequently changing my pulley's in search of the cause of a problem I've been having. Although I recently diagnosed and fixed this problem the many times I had to change the pulley's have given the tensioner pulley a pretty good beating. It has taken so much of a beating that the E11 bolt that is used to loosen the belt has pretty much stripped completely bare. I want to reinstall the belt wrap kit to fix a squeaking issue I'm having but I'm afraid if i try to take the belt off I'm going to strip the bolt even more and I might not be able to put the belt back on. In this case would replacing the tensioner pulley also replace this E11 bolt or would I have to do something more drastic to get the bolt replaced? Also if any of you guys are wondering how I really stripped the E11 bolt it most likely happened becasue I was forced to use an E10 socket on the tensioner pulley instead of an E11. It seems that the E11 socket is quite an ellusive size at least in the garages I've been to. Any assistance would be very helpful.
