bro.
you think the y pipe is hard wait til you get to the DEMON bolts.
the oem y pipe has studs that are pressed in. Only the nut comes off so cut those off if stripped itll come off.

STOP BEFORE going any further soak all the bolts with PB BLAST OR EQUIVALENT PENETRATION OIL.
then let sit for couple hours a day is better then try again.

take a pic so i can better help you

Are you using the correct size socket with 6 point?
or you using 12 points?

If you rounded out 1 bolt, what made you think it would be a good idea to keep rounding off the other bolts? So they would match?

You should only be using 6-point sockets.

Here~ and be SURE to use the 50:50 Acetone ATF mix for bolt soaking, much better than most any other rust breaker.
