The bolt, now with no head (or torque on it), should come put easily.
You can use a small punch and smack the head in a counter clock direction.
That alone may very well loosen it. As it's likely a hardened bolt, it'll be difficult to
drill but you can try.
Worse case scenario, MIG weld a nut onto the end of the bolt being careful
not to weld the crank. This shouldn't take much as again, there's no tension on it.
Re installing the cover, just slowly / gently pull the pull starter while setting it atop the flywheel.
It'll drop on fully once in the correct position. You shouldn't have to force it..
