Here's my suggestion: 1) Buy an impact driver. $10. You'll wonder how you lived without it. 2) Use a Dremel type tool (if you have one) to cut a slot in the top of the bolt, to make the bolt look like a slotted screw top. 3) Stick the impact driver in the slot you just made and hammer away! (Is there enough room for an impact driver and a hammer?)
4) If that doesn't work you can just cut off the head with the dremel, then grind a new slot in the remainder after the axle is out. Then there will definitely be enough room for a hammer.
