Re: header install
usually there are metal tangs that are bent over the bolt heads. they might be hard to see at first. sometimes 2 tangs for each bolt. thats so they dont unloosen. use a screwdriver or something to bend them out.

For rounded off bolts...

The only 'as seen on tv' product that works. My folks got me a set for Christmas about 17 years ago. They've fixed everything from Nissans, Honduhs, Chevys, Saturns, bikes, snowblowers, lawn mowers, etc etc.
It's very rare that I have to get a 'regular' socket from my tool box.
