I've heard of various methods, from gear pullers to pickle forks
(one of these: http://www.toolking.com/performance/view.asp?id=1233 ).
The lowest-tech solution is to leave the bolt out and ride the bike
(carefully!) until the crank falls off.
I'd probably take a hacksaw to the crank and split it. That'll teach
it to strip!
