Stripped torque converter bolt

I am currently doing an engine pull I removed one bolt torque converter nut then rotated the engine and the second nut rounded off what are some tips to getting this one stripped nut off and what are some suggestions on not stripping the other bolts I do not want to have to pull the trans if I can help it I am currently working on a 2001 Ford ranger edge 4 wheel drive so there’s not a lot of room to get in there to get to the bolts in the first place

Are you going thru Starter Motor hole, if so then these work well on rounded heads: https://www.princessauto.com/en/jeu-...SAAEgK3rfD_BwE

You can get then individually if you know the size

You can also get this type: https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/p...or-wrench-1-2/

In correct size of course
