Evil evil belt idler roller 850

So, I'm replacing the Serpentine Belt idler roller on my 93.

But the bolt was stripped down before I got to it, and I haven't exactly made it better...

Does anyone have any idea how to get the dang thing off? I have the replacement bolt (at least from the #'s I was given to order) and it's a regular rotation.

So I would assume the bolt in the car is the same rotation (counter clockwise to remove).

I've soaked it with PB Blast, I've used vice grips, channel locks, pipe wrenches and swearing and I'm getting no where...

Anyone know of a good tool to use to get stripped bolts off (with little wiggle room)?
