Be careful with this. I rounded one out once. Try all the prep tricks first:
  • PB Blaster or similar.
  • Clean out all debris from the inhex sockets. Use a pick.
  • Sharp fresh high-quality bit.
  • Hammer them head on with a punch.
  • Twist clockwise first before unscrewing.
  • Impact driver or impact wrench might be a good idea.

Again, try tightening them before loosening them.

Yes, to keep foreign debris out. I have used pieces of aluminum foil to "cap" them.
