so what you're saying is that the bolt head is getting stripped/rounded off? If that's the case then Craftman (and others) make some special socket tools just for grabing hold of a rounded off bolt.

well i am not sure if its rounded off... looks ok to me.... but it just wont grip hard enough .. since it needs alot of force to open..... where can i find those sockets? part stores?

try going to the other side of the car and getting to that bolt from there. Sometimes a different angle approach will do the trick ie. pulling up rather than pushing down to break the bolt free or vice versa.
