Rather than using brute force, get some heat on it. If has already rounded, it's reluctant to move, so deal with that first and then whatever you use will have a fighting chance.

I have a seized bolt I am trying to loosen without breaking and it is in a hard to reach location.
I can't get a socket on it and the 12 point box wrench I am using is slipping off.
I am having trouble locating a 6 point wrench  (10mm by the way).
 
QUESTION:
What is your experience with the roller based wrenches that are marketed as "no slip" and well suited to partially rounded fasteners?
 
TIA!
