Try a metric socket that almost fits and hammer it on. You will lose the socket but they are not too expensive to replace.

harbor freight sells a product called a "stud out"
for $2

I used one last week to remove a completely round stripped bleeder screw on a caliper

I had an upper one once that was stripped bad. The car was broken down in a parking lot and we had to move it so I put a bar under the starter, let the car down a few inches and broke the starter off. I had plenty of room to get the vice grips in then!
