sunshineking: you said you were unable to fully torque down the #10 bolt (last 90 degrees) so you may not have fully compressed the head gasket at that point. If you can get the damaged bolt out, you could risk just replacing it with another identical bolt. Even with the correct 6 point short socket and a lowered motor, it would better to get some help. As I mentioned, a piece of wood (modified 2x4) set up to put pressure downwards on the bar & its socket really helps... All the best - hope you don't have to start again....
