Removing Bolts From Plate Wheel Cap?

I've a;ready stripped out the inside of the head of one of them and did not try any more. The bolts are obviously frozen. I bought the 5 spoke wheel caps to replace the pie plate and it's all for naught now it looks like.. Will PB blaster or WD-40 help?

First of all use a good quality 5 mm allen wrench and not the 3/16" you are probably using. Next, take two ballpeen hammers, place one of them on the bolt and strike it sharply with the other hammer. You will probably be able to get them out with your fingers then. If you don't have two hammers, then use a punch that fits inside the allen head and give it a good whack.... Not responsible for mashed fingers or cussing.....
