Can you get a box-wrench on it or a ring spanner, one with 6 flats not 12?  Also could you run the engine 'till it's hot?

If ou are any good at welding you may be able to weld an old bolt to the top of the knackered one and turn it using that, obviously the bolt will need to be discarded.

I would get a realy good file and file two flat sides on it and then give it a go with a tight fiting open ended spaner or get a beefy set of molgrips on it
