Use a bolt extractor: If all else fails, a bolt extractor tool can come to the rescue. These tools are specifically designed to grip onto rounded or stripped bolts, making them easier to remove. If the toilet is old and the seat is attached to it using metal bolts, you might have to use a penetrating oil such as WD40 on the bolt and nut. Apply the oil around the metallic bits and leave it to sit for up to 10 minutes. A solution of 1-part acetone and 9-part cooking oil can suffice if you don't have any WD40 handy. That loosens the nut and bolt rust, making it easy to remove the screws.
