I always use a flat sided socket on them. One of the bolts needs a shallow socket iirc

With a rusted or rounded bolt you can hammer on a smaller socket (imperial sockets can often work out a good size for this) and you can also try heating it but let it cool a bit before turning.

I would not try drilling it out as that is more likely to cause further issues. If a very stubborn bolt the best answer is to weld on a nut to the head putting in as much heat as you can
