I've had bolts completely stripped, and drilled the head off, and once the head was off, I could unscrew them with my fingers.
Not uncommon on brake clamps on manual chairs, or Permobil drive wheels.
of course, once they are stripped, it gets a lot tougher.
Try putting a dab of valve grinding compound on the end of the allen wrench, or in the head of the bolt, to give the wrench some bite.
good luck
