Default Rounded top bolt in front wheel bearing

Replacing the front wheel bearings in my '04 SS and the top bolt holding the bearing to the knuckle is rounded. I tried a 13mm bolt-out socket, but it slips on the bolt head. A 12mm bolt-out socket was too small. No room for a drill; any ideas?

see if a standard socket will fit. If not you may have to find a size that's close to fitting & hammer it on.

Thanks for the advice, but I didn't have enough room to swing the hammer hard enough =(

Looks like I'll have to get dirty with it. Time to bust out the sawzall >.<
