a good few whacks whilst trying allen key several times to ensure you dont mushroom head too much

My bottom bolt was a PITA as well, in the end I got the top one out, disconnected everything on the EGR side then bent it so I could rotate everything on the bottom bolt. Turning the bolt AND the EGR assembly together cracked it enough that it was then free to undo.

If you've rounded out the bolt then hammer in a slightly larger size Torx or Spline drive socket then remove as normal.

I did mine with a male hex head socket. Normal allen keys are too soft and will bend/round off.
