Try taking a grinder to them to resharpen the edges and get them down so that you can put the next smallest size socket on them.
good luck,
Jared

I'll try that....should I buy a torch too? I've heard heating and cooling them a couple time will help break them loose.

ok heres the plan...wd40, dremel round bolt head into something more manageable...square? torch...then have another go. Sound about right?
BTW, this is the single most frustrating aspect of working on cars that I have ever experienced.

Big frickin' vise grips always worked well for me in cases like this.
