The easiest thing to do is take a grinder with a cut off wheel and cut it off. Install a regular headed bolt. You can try a chisel with a sharp edge and hit the bolt head in the loosening direction.

Vice-grips might work if you don't have air tools.

Or try to make two flat spots on the bolt head edges so you can use a wrench.
