Make sure you get the ground loose first in order to avoid shorting it out.
Vice grips are my second choice now that I got the "sockets" from Sears for removing stripped bolts, they work like a champ.

The battery terminal bolts are so soft you'd probably only end up sharpening them if you tried those.
