best invention ever was the 7mm swivel socket....its a swivle joint with the 7mm socket built into it....anything else is a bastard....

probably have to take the fuel rail off and knock and sae socket (little smaller than 7mm in size)on over the rounded bolt.

Since you already rounded the bolt, try a pair of small needle-nose vise-grips. They should be small enough to get in there and bite. Your COP bolts shouldn't be so tight that they won't work.

I would try some vise grips first. Probably gonna have to remove the fuel rail, move the vacuum lines out of the way and such. Really shouldn't be that difficult just make sure you get a new bolt.
