How round is it? A good 6-point socket should still be able to get it off. There is so much contact area even if the corners are mostly gone it'll still grip on the flat sides.

I'm assuming you were using a 12pt socket because you usually don't here about people rounding bolts using a 6 point - it'd likely shear the bolt before it rounded.
