First if you haven't already tried this pound on a smaller size 12 point socket and see if that will give you enough bite to remove the bolt. If that fails what I've done in the past is weld a nut on top of the stripped bolt head and than remove it that way. That kinda makes it tough however if you don't weld or have a welder handy to do so.

update: i got my two headbolts off today. i pounded a 6pt 12mm socket w/ an extension with a small sledge. i guess this mangled the head enough to keep the 6pt 1/2" real tight on there, the bolts came right off.
now, we'll see if i'm dumb enough to use these bolts again

Your best bet is to weld a bolt to the stipped bolt. If you don't have a welder then....... I have a welder. Where do you live? i'm in fremont. email me: stroked50@tmail.com
