I rounded the heads off on the front calipers of my old Saab 900 when I was still a student. They were a 15 or 16 mm head and I think I had some cheap 12 point sockets. I didn't have the money to pay someone to get them out for me so I figured out another way to change the rotors. I figured out that if I pounded out 2 studs I could take the rotor off without removing the caliper. I changed them that way a few times(You need to replace the brakes on 900s almost as frequently as you need gas). I also later discovered that the bolts had locking tabs on them. The bolts came off much easier when I bent those out of the way.
