It shouldn't matter if the engine is hot or cold when removing those bolts. The key is the use a sudden jerking (or snapping) motion with the Allen wrench squarely in place to get the thing started.
Now that you've stripped it, try to cut a notch in the head with a Dremel and use a flat bladed screwdriver to remove what's left. Or you could try a large screw extractor.

Drive a slightly larger torx driver in the hex of thre bolt and give it a quick jerk to break it loose.
