I'm assuming the bolt head is intact and you just rounded off the fascet points. Soak the threaded portion with a quality penetrating oil for at least an hour. If using a 12 point socket try a 6 point socket. Try using a lockable pliers - vise grips. Try an easy out - either the type that fits on the outside diameter or the type you drill a hole in the head of the bolt then insert the easy out in the hole.
