Also you could remove part of the bolt head to go past the frame (grind or file back one flat bigger) you will still be able to get a spanner on the remaining flats and nobody will ever look under there until the next engine out..
Also if the bike was ever stolen and recovered it would be easy to identify..
That's bummer tho but you should be able to sort that. Good luck

Other option is an allen bolt, the head is typically smaller than a bolt of the same size plus you can turn some of the head off and still have a working internal hex, a washer will spread the load of a smaller head. Down side is it will not look standard.

That's what I'd do. About 4 ¼" long should do it I think?
