Hit it with a chisel, not one for wood obviously, but quite a sharp one for metal, once you make a series of grooves around it, shud start to come of.............. | |

I have a set of Mac Edge sockets. They remove bolts that are up to 70% rounded bolts! | |

yeah they have always got out what i have needed! even got out my set of locking wheel nuts that whre tight as fuck! internaly they have three like teeth that stick out and cut into the bolt head, gripping it, and allowing you to remove it. mine are an irwin set and are the best i have seen! | |

Might have to drill it out... If it's not TOO rounded try heating it up then try again.. | |

mole grips or just a pair of grips is what we use in my garage and if that doesnt work we mig weld another bolt onto that. | |
