Did you stripe the threads or just the heads of the bolts.
If it's the heads, use a 12 point socket that is a little smaller than the bolt head and bang it on, use SAE size if it fits better. Or use vise grips, might want to tap the bolt head while applying torque to get it loose.
Then when you get them out replace them. (wait until you do the brake calipers)

You know? There are bolts on a Busa that just dont want to come off easily. This is the 1st I ever heard of these being a PITA... good luck.
Soaking them in water before hand doesn't help...
Front brake calipers, I recommend a 6 point 12mm socket. Again, you may want to apply a little tap (impact) to assist in the removal process. Once you accompolish those bolts, the only ones you really get to look forward to would be the brake rotor bolts, but that should be a little while until you need to replace those...
Zoinks!

What is it with you guys and brake calliper bolts? Mine weren't any trouble. They don't have THAT much torque on them. How many miles did you have when removing them?
Also using a quality tool makes a difference, I use Snap-ON and Mac, I've never had a problem removing bolts and nuts.
