Have you tried penetrating oil, as well as one of those sockets that have "gripping teeth", that grab on to rounded bolts?

i sprayed all of them a few days ago rellly well. they all came out w/o much fight and this one i cant even get a grip on it, yea i tried one of thsockets with teeth, is it possable that the head is a different size than the rest?

Maybe a mirror and a flash light could help you see it.

If it's one of the bolts with a little rusty collar/spacer between the bolt head and the manifold then you're in luck. Grind the head of the bolt off with a dremel so there's nothing but a stud left. You'll be able to remove the manifold now to gain more access. Then you can either back the stud out using 2 nuts torqued against each other (what I had to do, recommended) OR grip the stud with some vise grips (last resort, will damage threads).
