Rounded head on strut lower pinch bolt
Just as the title says. I'm removing my struts and the lower pinch bolt head is rounded off. This is the first I've removed it, so it must've been done the last time work was done on the struts. My first thought was to use a set of vice-grips, but it's in there really tight and they're just rounding the bolt of worse. What else can I do?
.
What could it do on a rounded head? Do you think I could "borrow" one from Sears?

Where would I get one? Your typical advance/autozone?
Also I think I should say the reason why I'm replacing my struts is because I hit a huge pothole, which pretty much did that strut in. Could this impact have bent the bolt in question? I really can't tell.

Do easy-outs work? I went and got some B'Laster and tried to get it off with vise-grips again. Didn't work of course! I've about had it with this.
