How can I remove the above.
This is for a Ford Escort. After trying several tools, we have managed to round of the bolt, also tried WD40, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

take the sump off and get some heat on it.. drill a hole through it and use an extractor or similar..

if its just for an oil change some garages use an oil extraction pipe that goes down the dipstick hole and sucks the oil out!
no need to remove the sump plug
hope this helps.

Use a Stilson type tool. Harder you push the harder it grips.
Dont suck oil out as taking ou the pug will also let out any crap thats rested in the sump.
