is it the bolt stripped inside going into the head or did you round out the end?

best bet is to get needle nose vice grips or if its just a nut try n break it without ruining the stud

If you rounded over the nut, then this is what I use:

Hand Tools, Tool Storage, Automotive Service Equipment, Business Franchise Options - Matco Tools (http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/MBX13/13-PC-3-8-DR-BOLT-EXTR-SET/)

Yeah, you didn't mention that.

Edit: These can also be used with a wrench. So if you can at least get the socket on, but not with a ratchet, then you could use a wrench on the extractor.
