what I found works real well is grind down your Allen key so you get less deflection and it also gives you a clean hex head to use. Also clean out the heads real well of all road debris and factory undercoating

Slim long handle 1/4" ratchet and a stubby 6mm hex socket. Easy peasy.

Wobble extension with the allen, using an impact removes them every time, 2s per bolt. With my long extension, you can get at 2 bolts easily before turning the prop shaft.
