How do I remove this bolt?
This bolt rounded off really bad and won't budge at all. I can't fit vise grips on or hammer a smaller socket on due to the right space, my correct socket now slides right off, and the $30 extractor socket kit I bought has walls that are too thick to even fit all the way on so it slipped off too (pic 2). The more I try, the worse this bolt is so I'm going to ask here before it goes from a rounded hexagon to a circle. 2001 Tecumseh small engine I'm planning to put on a go kart.
Edit: I got it off with a 6 point socket
