make sure all the washers are off as well. ive stripped out one of the allens on a arp and i pounded a torx bit into it and prayed, and i i managed to get it off. i really can imagine the head studs swelling and being your issue. 123abc's car blew a head gasket and he drove the 20 min remaining to my house and the head had melted between cylinder 2 and 3. so i guess with that heat, possibly it warped the head and block to the point that the studs are no longer standing straight. But i think its stuck on the dowels
