they needed lots of work, but they came off, 4bloody fingers later ha

but now the last stud towards the firewall, passenger side cover, passengerside of the valve cover

its the other stud that has the plastic spark plug wire divider thing on it, is there a way 2 remove those while its still on the head? because what ive been doing is taking a normal wrench instead a socket wrench and turning the nut, however this 1 is seemingly rounded(cant see it)

ive tried a 10mm and 7/16s and both grip until i turn the wrench, then it slips because its most likely rusted, how can i get that bugger off? its the last bolt holding down that valve cover and i kinda cant drive until i get it off, so im literally stranded
