This might be dumb question, but if 3 of the 4 bolts are released, why not rotate the handle on the remaining bolt and rotate it out of the way.
Need it completely off to install FCP
Maybe not? See graphic for extent of MEB cover.
I stand corrected based on that image

"What was Plan C?"
Spare bit just isn't working.
We all know situations like this: Once it is no longer hex (or whatever it was before), it is pretty much a circle. Your tool just turns. I still like the idea of rotating the handrail [EDIT: This probably won't work because the handrail seems to be sitting in some kind of socket and not flat on the surface].

Mass noticing debris, so that's obviously a broken bolt head. You can see it slipping about 180 degrees of the PGT motion.

Can't get plate on with hand rail, so rotating it out of the way isn't an option.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong....
Bottom left can come out.....
Bottom right is a relatively small "hex bit, round head bolt". Anyone know made of what?
Why can't he undo the bottom left... and then just man handle the thing off...... or worst case rotated it out of the way...

Here's details of the handrail and the stanchion (bracket) that they are talking about removing
Edit: that yellow/grey tool is the handrail removal tool by the way.
