Possibly user error, as my mechanic is a certifiable idiot in his field.
The crank bolts are going to be more difficult because they are recessed. Try forcing a bigger Allen in there if you can.
The Look cleat screws I get are 4 mm Allen and they are cheap/cheesy. If you can't get them to move you could try a sharp chisel and tap around the outside of the screw head in the direction you want them to go. Be patient.
Time to ride.
