Trying to undo bottom bolt on brake caliper of Rover 25 to change pads, it keeps slipping and the edges are rounding off. Have soaked with WD40 and tried petrol too, what should I do?

For future reference, you used the wrong sized (or poor quality) spanner.
It would have helped to have hit the bolt head with a hammer several times before trying to undo it to break the rust seal..
