Is it a head bolt??? What kind bolt is it? Besure you are using he correct socket, 12pt. and so on. You could spot weld a nut onto the head of the bolt if the head is rounded off. I had to do that on a flexplate bolt. Also heat is a great tool, torch even propane torch sometimes works if you can fit it. It's all a part of car crafting.
