I had a similar experience after getting the car back from the dealer. After vice grips, channel locks, and a pipe wrench I ran to Sears and bought a 6-point socket of the appropriate size and beat it on with a hammer. (I was careful not to bodge the head of the bolt too bad with all of the makeshift attempts)
Using a 2' breaker bar the bolt came right out. The dealer had cut another thread up the bolt with their torque wrench. *sheesh*
6 pt. sockets work wonders, I HIGHLY recommend trying one before going to the desparation methods. Best $3.50 I ever spent.
