Hi Paul, what I have found over the years is that these type of cap screws will usually round off if you just use a hex bar on them. I have made up a number of hex drivers to fit in my impact driver and with a good hit they usually undo without problems

Try "jumping" the heads a few times with a heavy hammer....That usually dislodges the initial "grip"------

if you have used Loctite , you may have to heat the bolt with a torch to soften the Loctite ,
