like TooManyMBZ said, try heat. Ive used it on pesky door strikers that even with the correct size Phillips driver I knew I'd strip the head off. . . a $35 heat gun is a wise investment. . it is amazing how after 30 or so years these bolts can become stuck so hard. Get a heat gun, be certain not to accidentally ignite any surround surfaces and apply heat in 30 second intervals until the little fu*ker is ready to come out. . .

I mean, dude! well I guess I'll go in there again then. the allen bolt is nearly stripped. it was as tough as the craftman key I used almost, so they got damaged equally. I'm guessing a good allen key and airgun can still take it out. I have a friend with the tool... not the allen though, I'll buy that off a snap on truck.

99.9% of all my tools are craftsman.
MIne have been very very good. Most were purchased a good while back though. Tom W

Once you've made certain the hole is clean, try dipping the tip into some Comet/Zano/etc. cleaner - it helps to give you a little extra grip. (unless you have valve grinding compound, as Dubyagee suggested).

I am not sure which model Mercedes you are working on. But if there are nuts on the other end of those allen blots (if there is room for it) you could split the nuts with a Nut Slpitter or split the nuts with a good quality sharp chisel. Another option would be to grind a split in the nut with a small 1/8" rotary file. This would work best with a Dremel type tool because they have a higher speed than a Electric Drill.

couldn't he get a killer grip on the head with a pair of locking vice grips... i mean the kind of force that it takes a pair of channel locks to get the vice grips back of the head they were locked so tight?
that should get him the leverage he needs to turn the other side with a wrench.. i know when i replaced my flex disks the bolts on there seemed to be one way... they went on easy but stripped when you tried to take them off... and man did those things heat up even with hand tools.

Most of my tools are craftsman, and the only time I have rounded out an allen bolt is when I turned it the wrong way thinking I was loosening it....when in fact I was tightening, and then stripping it.
 It was a motor mount bolt, and its still on the car (83SD)....I'll be hammering a torx into it sometime in the near future when we replace the mounts probably. Not looking forward to trying to get that out.
