Drill the heads off? once the load is off then the remainder of the bolt should be able to be removed easily.

Get a better quality socket. You will find heavy duty sockets only have 6 flats to contact the bolt head.

Daves on the money with a single hex socket, if you want to round bolts & nuts go the double hex, I allways use single hex to crack a bolt/nut
then use the double hex to remove if its in a confined area
