Default i was referring to a traditional ez-out...i.e. a left handed tapered drill bit.
an ez-out socket seems like it would work well.

Default We were referring to a hardened socket...
with a reversed tapered spiral flute design on the inside. It will literally bite into a completely rounded bolt head, and unscrew the bolt.

Default vise grips usually works nicely...
Don't think you'll have a problem with it...
