When all else fails, get a GOOD drill bit just slightly larger than the head bolt diameter and drill off the top of the head bolt-the part that has the allen head counterbore. When you get the top of the bolt drilled off, the head will lift off and you will probably be able to remove the remaining threaded portion of the head bolt by hand, since there will be no torque on it. At this point, you may find drilling off the top of the head bolt faster, cheaper and easier than continuing attempts to get it out "in one piece". You won't be using the bolt again anyway, right? Just my 1.5 cents worth. And I've done it before. Worked well.

A good quality T60, a cheep sacrificial extension to use as a driver, and a BFH....

What type of drill bit? The high speed,colt and titanium doesn't do shit. The head bolt is still stuck there laughing at my failed attempts.
