I have not had much success with the "no-slip" wrenches.  I found that if
you have 2 good corners, they sometimes work, but I also broke one trying
to free a stuck bolt.
If you are able to get a socket on it, but don't have room for the ratchet,
try using a wrench adapter.  I have had much success using these in tight
spots.  I can't find an example online but I bought a set are Sears many
years ago.  Basically just t little adapter that goes in the drive end of
the socket in place of a ratchet or breaker bar.  Is has a hex head that is
very thin that allows you to get on it with a wrench.  Or two.  Or a 4'
length of pipe over the handle of a wrench.

FWIW, I have 6-point metric wrenches from both MAC and MATCO. So they
exist, if you can't find anything else.

Hell I'll send you one of mine if you send it back.

Yeah, 6-point 10mm wrenches exist and can be found, or can you just get 
a pair of vise-grips on the damn thing?

Rather than using brute force, get some heat on it. If has already rounded,=

If nothing else works, a very good mechanic friend just goes straight =
for the welder. Welds on a large, easy to reach bolt and (maybe with =
heat and penetrating fluid) has success.

Look for a flare nut wrench for the 6-point wrench.  Sample:
https://www.harborfreight.com/5-pc-metric-double-end-flare-nut-wrench-set-61357.html

Add some penetrating oil and tap it with a hammer a few times to help 
the oil soak in.

The welding itself is useful as a source of heat. Blob of weld from a MIG on top of the bolt - then try the vice grips.

If nothing else works, a very good mechanic friend just goes straight for the welder. Welds on a large, easy to reach bolt and (maybe with heat and penetrating fluid) has success.

If you haven't rounded the bolt too much with the 12 point and slipping 
is more because of the awkward location, my favorite trick is putting 
the wrench on the bolt and lightly tapping the wrench, even a couple 
tightening taps.  This is a makeshift impact and impact often works 
better than penetrating oil.

Matt, I have had limited success with the "Metrinch" set. It's actually a GREAT set of tools and way high quality for the late night infomercial that it was sold on in the early 90's. But they quickly disappeared. They seem to have the same sets here https://www.metrinch.tv/ now.

But the outside of a rounded nut isn't the problem in many cases, it's that the inside is somewhat fused together. That is why I only had limited success.

I recently got this, and I wish I had one YEARS ago. No bolt can defeat it. The leads are flexible so you can make it fit into any area.

It might be a little pricey at first, but the first stud that you can remove without it breaking in the head it more than pay for itself!

What about using a flare nut wrench?  10mm is a pretty common size for
those. I also haven't had much luck with any of the "miracle" wrenches for
rounded corners.  A good pair of vice grips is my last attempt before going
to the extremes of drilling, welding, etc.
