Help with Driveshaft U joint? rounding? 11mm socket

Alright my 11mm socket fit on to my 1le driveshaft's ujoints tightly... i checked for a standard socket but it didnt fit as well.

I started trying to loosen the bolts and they started to round..?
What the heck..
I dont understand why they are rounding?

Rounding Bolts =

Are they to the point where a socket wont work? Do you have one of those gator sockets (I don't think that's the right name), the ones that fit like 10 different sizes?

The socket still fits as i did not round them that much... But im afraid of trying any more cuz i felt them start to round...
its like the idiots who worked on my tranny last tightened them to much or something..

these arent reverse threads are they?

I dont know what a gator socket is?
Whats the tool used for taking off rounded bolts (kinda tight area)
