I like Sunnex. It's Chinese but it's better than craftsman and cobalt is these days.

Personally I got this set it's best bang for your buck because you get universal's no skip 7-22 impact stubby long and universal's for $128. I managed on Ebay get for 100. Sunex 3351 Link Amazon
You could give these a try: https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-THINKWORK-Stripped-Remover-Adapter/dp/B0869BR8MG/
I've used them before to remove stuff. find the right size and pound it on with a hammer. then just use a breaker bar and unscrew the nut.
Whatever you get, treat yourself a nice large master set of impact sockets from SUNEX.
Like this:
They have sockets that are designed to dig into the metal. Probably at your local hardware store. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/THINKWORK-Extractor-Stripped-Remover-Removal/dp/B0869BR8MG/ . I am sure they have something smaller. If not, drill it out later and use a stripped screw remover. Good luck
If you can bang a socket size smaller on there or
if you have a set of these https://www.amazon.ca/THINKWORK-Extractor-Stripped-Remover-Removal/dp/B0869BR8MG. I would still replace that stripped bolt regardless if it does have to come out.
on the Honda K series engines you do need to remove that center bolt to remove the tensioner assembly. Might be the same on the honda/acura v6

So you are saying a guy can save $$$ if you buy something like this?
Something like these help tremendously in a variety of situations. Definitely one of those tools you buy hoping to never have to use, but when you need them you're glad you did.

I got my son this last Christmas, and he uses it all the time. A couple pieces have vanished, but it was a great gift
Titan 68660 10-Piece 1/4-Inch and 3/8-Inch Drive 10mm Socket Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GX8QD3B
If you are going to give a 10MM set, I have see similar ones to this before posted.
The biggest variety of 10 mm sockets you can find! Different drive sizes, standards, deeps, and shorts. something like this
Let me help ya out:
You can tell impact rated sockets pretty easily by the fact that they aren't chromed! They're the non-shiney black kind.
Now, you can use the TEKTON set I recommended to take off lug nuts with a breaker-bar (included in that set), and then put them back on and use a torque wrench. (that's what you're supposed to use on lug nuts when you put them on anyway, a torque wrench, NOT an impact wrench)
If you have an impact wrench, and want to remove the lug nuts easily, you can just buy the impact rated lug nut socket set. TEKTON has that as well, and I have it and it's great.
HERE:
https://www.tekton.com/1-2-inch-drive-impact-lug-nut-socket-set-sid92415
Now, if you wanted an entire impact-rated set, nothing beats SUNEX. Here's their master set:
That one has basically everything, but they make many other various sets and sizes to fit your particular needs.
Whatever you do, don't use chrome sockets on an impact wrench of any kind, IF you value your eyesight. They'll eventually break apart and fly in your face. The impact-rated are actually a little softer, and hence "flex" with the impact and then won't shatter.
Good Luck!
SUNEX Master Set: the only and last set you'll ever need.
Is this the"extractor" you're taking about? Amartisan Impact Bolt Extractor Tool, 13PC Bolt Nut Removal Extractor Socket Tool Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X7FYZB7/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_4BK7NJYHXZ577H8HRVGY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
There are socket sets designed to remove rounded bolts and lugnuts.
https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-THINKWORK-Stripped-Remover-Adapter/dp/B0869BR8MG
They're reverse threaded with teeth to bite into the bolt itself so the head pattern is irrelevant. An electric impact driver with a set of these can deal with like 99% of lock lugs you'd come across.

Haven't seen it mentioned but Sunex sockets have been amazing for me and are really inexpensive for their quality. one example here
CrMo construction and impact rated
This sunex set is nice, got for 125 before taxes and 135 after taxes, also has served me well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JO1BO1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_CKB2ZKWAF48NX3Z8MSDR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I bought the Japanese market version of these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MH3MGGF/
Like everyone said, "correct tool for the job", but I carry these with me and I haven't snapped once since. (At my home shop, I have a 10kw air compressor and a Shinano impact wrench.)

If you're looking for 3/8" sockets id say these are a pretty good deal. I regret not buying these first. I also like sunnex tools. My half inch deep set is just a random set from orrileys that I've had forever. Anything will really get you by and Harbor Freight has good warrenty.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0869BR8MG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_8E6JKC0Q008KR8MR1ECN I would use something like this. Find the size with the tightest fit if you have to tap it on with a hammer that's the one. This should remove it
