Question header bolts

I have a 78 f-250 4x4 w/ a 400. The header bolts are rounded off. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get them off.

Thanks

.........(3) possible methods...(1) if headers , are CHEAP brand then I would consider using Torch and just cut the Whole header OFF so that you'll have a half inch of bolt length to work with. Obviously , you need to do this with great care to not damage other parts . (2) Drill and tap with an easeout , although I would would remove the front end as there is almost NO room to work otherwise . (3) Pay an experienced mechanic to do the work . sk
