I Know this is a bit like shutting the door after the horse has bolted but
I had to remove allen bolts from my exhaust manifold on my Suzuki and all the centers had rusted and rounded out when I tried to remove them
The answer was given to me by a garage I deliver to and was a set tool I have never seen before
They lent me a set of Irwin Bolt-grip nut removers
Easyest way to explain it is they are external easy outs they go over the outside of bolt and as you go to undo bolt the socket bites on to the outside of bolt and in my case undid all 8 rusted bolts
Sorry this is a bit late for you but may help others
