Need ideas for rounded off bolt

I have a 7mm bolt that is rounded off and thought you guys might have some ideas I haven't tried.
I only have 4 inches vertical clearance, so I can't drill it out because I can't fit the drill in the space.
I have decent side access. I can get a ratchet on it, but it's rounded so that isn't helping.
I tried vice grips, but am just mangling the bolt head more.
I tried a socket bolt extractor, but that didn't grip.
I tried JB welding a socket on the head, but that twisted right off.
I've tried Kroil.. no go.
It's next to a fuel line, so I'm hesitant to use flame but may out of desperation. Welding is out of the question.
Any other tricks up your sleeves that I haven't thought of?
