Those mechanics in dealership should be capable of removing the damage bolts. I'm surprised that they couldn't figure out. Maybe the guy who's working on your car is new.
Depending how bad it is, most of time, impact driver and bolt extractor can take care of it. Worst case is to drill the old damaged bolt out. Try not to damage the thread. If thread is damaged, you will have to tap new thread or replace the steering knuckle.
