Mole grips if you can get them around the heads

Or use a slightly bigger TORX key

Or cut a slot in the head and use a flat screwdriver

drill through the head of the bolt then then head will pop off them get mole grips on the bottom thread

The above methods can work, but a bit much for the job you're after. You run the risk of gashing your frame and other parts when chopping and drilling away.

Molegrip technique is good, and works... but not if the head of the bolt is sunk in like on boosters or some 4 bolt mounts.

Simplest, most fool proof-method: superglue the most rubbish unwanted unloved allen key in your toolbox into the head of the bolt. Let it dry, and it'll have bonded inside the rounded head. Screw it out. It's the most harmless method of all.

If you're tightening enough to round the heads of the bolts, then you're tightening wayyyyyy too much. I'm suprised your frame didn't strip first!

i didnt tighten them much , it just because there them pro bolts and there not ment too be used in high stress areas :/
