you can always use a hacksaw to cut a slot in the bolt, and then use a screw driver to undo it.

Is it an allen key bolt that has rounded? See if you can get a torx drive larger than the allen head and tap it in with a hammer, then undo

You can get some screw Extractors or Easy outs that will sort it in no time at all... £2.95 of Fleabay
