Default How to loosen rounded head Bolts?? Need HELP!!

Im loosening the tensioner bolts in the timing belt area and for some reason the head of the bolt is rounded. Im using 14mm socket and there is no use because its slipping already when i tried to loosen. Can you guys help me how to loosen the rounded bolt so that I can put on my new timing belt. Really appreciate it for your help. Thanks!!!
