They also had JIS "#2 phillips" recesses in the head but I was not taking the chance.

I sandblasted with a handheld blaster around the bolts and used a towel to keep the sand isolated. Gave me a little more depth once rust scale was gone.

I got the set below from Amazon and found the right size (many choices) to slide over the head and bite by tapping on a 1/4 socket extension. Every one of them came out.

Clearly lower end but not bad for $50

I have a small set of those, I think 5-10 sizes, and they do work well.

Haven't you ever seen pr0n?
