One thing you could try is heat: insert an allen socket in the bolt head. Heat the socket with a propane torch. If you're careful, you can put plenty of heat into that bolt without collateral damage.

I agree with Tom, the main reason socket bolts round out is debris. XZN's are better for high torque applications, but just as likely to gall if they aren't clean.
