I don't know how skilled you are... but if it were me, I'd slot the head with a small dremel bit and whack at it with an impact driver.  apply penetrating oil from the back side.

I keep some beat up old blades from feeler gauges around. When an allen doesnt  fit just right, Ill cut a section off of one & see if I can slip it in next to the allen wrench in a place or 2. A dose of oil & some vibration, ( read" stick something down in the bolt & SMACK heck outta the thing a few times), & you mite come out okay.

I'm not very skilled, I'm learning as I go on this bike, and I don't have many tools. No impact wrench, just have ur basic drill, socket wrench, an an angle grinder. I'm not seeing a plausible way of getting this thing out and I don't wanna damage the thread and be forced to buy new forks! I guess I'll call some shops and see what they can do, cuz while I don't need a tire today I'll need one very soon and need to "fix" this mess. I don't get it, I used a good Allen wrench, sprayed Wd-40, tapped it with the hammer and twisted then it just started slipping and stripped the bolt. Was it my fault?

Some learning experiences are more expensive then others.

I'd prefer to try the method I told you last.

but last way is to drill off the head.
this will take the tension off and usually free the threads.
the hard part will be getting the threads out.
I don't recommend you try this way.
