Default OT: What tool to remove hex bolt with stripped head?

It's a hex bolt with a stripped head (in another car, not the Porsche). The normal wrench is useless here. I believe there is a special tool for removing these things. Can someone point me to a link where I can buy one?

Something like this? You can find at Sears and Home Depot too.

Anyone use the Griptight sockets? They look interesting, especially holding the bolt centered on a ratchet extension. Hmmmm, maybe time for a NEW TOOL!!!

If you can get at it, cut a slot across it and use an impact hammer with the appropriate bit to fit into the slot you just cut with our dremel.
