I had the same problem at you. Get a bolt-out set. I purchased mine at sears. It is a socket set that has spiral teeth in the inside. When you turn the bolt counter clockwise the teeth bite into the head of the bolt. I have removed many stripped bolts that way. Heres what they look like:

timmy you shouldnt be allowed to work on cars. did you use a 6 or 12 point socket when trying to take the bolt off. i bet you used a 12 point
