Can just about get the mole grips I have on it but not enough space to get a turn on it.. I've put some pLusgas on it and I'll see if I can get some smaller grips from somewhere..

I am a bit of a rough ass , but if all else fails i would knock the top of the dome head off, pref with a decent bit in a air chisel with a pull the baffle out and grab the remaining thread with mole grips and undo that way

Ordered some longnosed molegrips, if they fail I'll take the just smack it route

It's in a tight spot there. If the mole grips don't work, maybe file a couple of flat spots, one on each side and try again.
Give it a good soak in Plus-Gas penetrating fluid first and leave it overnight.

Exacty the same happened to me with an Akra - Rumpold is spot on the money with his tip - As I couldn't get to the bolt from above (as it was just inside the pipe) I did what he suggested with a dremmel - once the groove was in the head, I got a flat screwdriver and light hammer and tapped it round - it came out very easily ...hope it works for you...

Tried the dremel and it wouldn't budge, managed to get mole grips on it and the weld gave way underneath and it just spun, Ended up sawing it and ordered some new bolts..

bit late but one thing to try if it happens again is to use a centre punch on the outside of the bolt if its not rediculously torqued...couple of hard whacks straight on to make a dint, and then hitting it at a slight angle to spin it round.

worked for me on a couple of rounded fairing bolts on the CBF a while back.
