Have you tried flattened two sides with a dremel and using an appropriately sized open end wrench?

Default I started that but my cordless dremel battery died and I left it there...
but that's a good idea...I was gonna grind six sides to fit a hex socket, doh! Thanks.

I've done it a time or two. Works good. You'll likely strip the bolt if you try to make it hex.
