There's too much tension....

Hi

Shimano M520 SPD pedals

The head of the allen bolt has rounded which means that I can’t release the tension on one side of one pedal…..the tension is so tight that I can barely unclip if I’ve clipped in on this side!

Any ideas?

Many thanks

    Hammer a torx bit in to undo it.

    And if that doesn't work, a new pair is less than twenty quid...

    Which has to be cheaper than being unable to unclip and stacking the bike somewhere painful
