Get a bolt with the right size head (22mm??) and a pair of vice grips. Keep the forks in the bike and "crack" the cap first, then you can take the forks out to dis-assemble.

If you've got oxy equipment or a friendly mechanic, get a nice long bolt (200mm+)and bend it like an allen key, and you'll have a cheap tool to add to your toolbox that you'll probably never use again

Don't forget to loosen the top clamp bolts and leave the bottom one tight.
