I've seen a LOT of hex-key head bolts that the hex socket was
basically stripped on so that even a proper size hex key
no longer
worked on it. That can happen if a substandard quality
bolt has too
much torque applied to it or if the wrong size hex key is
used.

AK has said that he used a U.S. Standard hex key on this
bolt and
that the head of it is NEARLY stripped to the point where
he won't be
able to tighten or loosen it.

Again, his best bet is to take the bike to a bike shop so
that he can
get a new undamaged bolt and also the proper size hex key
to use on
it.

Worth noting the next size up torx bit hammered in will
sometimes get a rounded hex out.

Desperate situations sometimes require desperate measures.
