soak it in wd 40
or freeze nut
use vice grips
multi grips
angle grinder
if not chisel and hammer it's only 3/8 bolt or something like that

you can also jack up the car and use a drill, either remove the bolt completely and rethread the hole or drill the middle of the bolt and use an extractor (basically looks like a left spinning drillbit)

go pick and payless u live in blacktown it's just up the road
Easy out the bolt. Had to remove one of my overhead coilpack bolts which had snapped in the head. Just make sure you get the easy out deep enough into the centre of the bolt and watch a youtube tutorial before you attempt it.
