Could be right, although with my trade being rough would not be good.

What size Easy out would you use on a 3mm bolt?

A small one

I have a funny feeling that I already have some, I best check before spending.

For sure , think the head of a 3 mm is 5mm , and the end of my smallest one is only about 1mm

Allen keys and small spanners.
This is my favorite and I've got a set of these, invaluable for my small frames with lots of hard to reach bits.

I think your question hints to the answer. None.
