I was trying to take down the oil pan, which was replaced before, and I noticed that the bracket that connects the ac compressor is attached to the oil pan, so I knew that I would have to take out the bolts on the bottom. The problem is, the bolt head is rounded. Its in a tight area, so I cant saw off the bolt head, or use vise grips, or anything. How can I get this bolt out, or atleast get the head off. And its a really off size bolt head. 15/32. Everything was millimeters. 10-14 mm. What do I do? I have to get these bolts off, or I cannot take out the oil pan. Any suggestions?

If you can put a wrench on it, you can put visegrips on it. Try using vise grips. If the head is badly rounded, you might have to use a chisel and a hammer to loosen it, then once it's loose use pliers to un-loosen it.
