you need a 6 point socket(prefferably an impact socket) that is slightly smaller and hammer it on. thats your only option or gring off the head and get the rest out after you take off the flywheel. if that is not an option you can drill it and keep up sizing until you get to about 90% of the dia of the bolt and try an easy out. doubt that will work though cause they are really tight. good luck

if it's too rounded, you can get some reverse style easy outs and use them with an impact wrench. Should take it right out. Craftsman sells them
