A buddy of mine cut the head off a larger bolt and welded it to the rounded off bolt to get better torque with the larger bolt head. If I understand correctly this bolt is pretty hard to get to so welding may not be an option. Just thought I'd mention it in case it helped.

I've run into stubborn bolts myself - I know what a PITA they can be.
