Timing Belt - Did I mess it up? 850

Sorry for the blank reply. I'm somewhat new to this.

The bolt that I rounded off was one of the 10mm on the crank pulley and I left it in place since it is tightly frozen. I will not take off the pulley now. I lined up the marks again and installed the new belt. You're right, with time and patience, you do not have to remove the crank pulley. Now that I know what obstructions are around the crank pulley, I can fit the new belt onto the crank sprocket with no problem.

I don't beleive I damaged the valves when turning the crank by hand (screwdriver assisted). I stopped turning when I felt interference. I think it would take more than turning by hand to bend the valves.
