can you not get vise grips on it? if not there are sockets out there that will grip a rounded bolt head. i believe craftsman makes them.

and just remember your engine is 99% metric.

I think it's called an "easy-out" kit. Those sockets are real aggressive, and very useful.

I'm going to have to strip the fuel rail off soon, an update on this would be helpful in case I run across the same thing. Just looking at mine an ez-out probably wouldn't work but the craftsman cross-socket would.
