I have tried a bolt extractor set a gator grip attempting to hammer a smaller socket on it I used pb blaster on it and nothing is budging, it only rounding it more. It's the front bolt behind the tire. I don't have any heat options I can try. What else can I try I see nut splitters and extractors online ut there's not much space to work with and idk how to use these.

Maybe the upper idler pulley I've taken off the lower 1 but idk how to we tried putting heat to it today and it won't budge. A nut splitters been suggested but idk if it will fit because the 1 I saw at AutoZone was huge.
