The things I found with the cam bolts are.

A. Make sure the allen fits very tight and is fully seated. Use paper to shim if needed. Yes, paper.

B. Move the breaker bar as fast as possible like an impact, don't just do a slow build up of torque. The later for me at least was what almost lead to having to drill one out.... Fast worked great on the other 7 I've done.
