This happened to me once. Unscrew the 2 stem bolts in the back, then spin the bars counter clockwise till the top bolt is loose.

Then that'll mess up the bottom of your stem and inside of the stem. Not a smart way unless it's the very absolute last resort.

If your Topcap isn't countersunk in the Stem, use Molegrips to spin it round.

Use a sharp chisel and a hammer to gently tap it till it starts turning out. itll ruin the bolt most likely.

Jw, what cap is it? Can you post a pic. My old Odyssey cap would work with a 6mm-8mm keys and a ratchet in the little slit under the allen key hole that you're SUPPOSED to use. I would just have to slide it around the slit till it fit snug.
