Thanks. Ace10 was kind enough to PM the link to his thread earlier, which I found extremely useful. I will indeed change the bolts to hex heads when I get them out, seal the hole from the top, and properly lube new bolts and receptacles to prevent the problem in the future.

The biggest issue here is that there is no excuse for putting allen head bolts in that application in my opinion. I take it later cars included hex-head fasteners.
