Stripped Rocker bolt removal Help! I have tried to take out the rocker bolt I stripped about 3 weeks ago I've tried every type of sockets to get out but since it's the last rocker and I have a 2002 Camaro I have no leverage or room.
Now the bolt is basically rounded off as you can see in the picture.
Does anybody have and idea of how I can get this off?

I would just pull the head and put it up on the bench, then hammer on a smaller cheap socket. It would cost you a head gasket and possibly a set of head bolts, but it would take maybe a few hours instead of weeks.
I've never used this type but have used an older version that worked

i have never tried it but before pulling the head i wonder if you put some j.b weld in a socket and stuck it on the bole overnight to let it setup if it would hold enough to break it loose ? may be worth a try before having to pull the head.
