The one on the passenger side above the starter bolts I got with a swivel socket, be very patient and cram your hand up through the cracks.

On the driver side I got the top bolt by going down through the top of the engine bay, it was easier to get to than trying to go past the header, etc. underneath.

I don't know what to say about the rounded head...try a smaller size, maybe a standard socket might fit on. Or a universal.

i used a very long extension and a moveable adapter and a socket, came from the back of the transmission, usually requires 2 to position the socket to the top bolt, the rest were easy.
