Cant get fuel rail to sep. from injectors

As I posted yesterday, I have been trying to change my plugs. Unfortunately, the #7 COP bolt is some rounded from whomever worked on it last. I released the pressure from the fuel lines, undid the bolts hold the rail in place, but I cant get the fuel rail to release from the injectors. What am I doing wrong? As far as I can tell, I have to get it off because of the somewhat rounded bolt head and it maybe mildly stripped.

Cliff notes:

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to separate the fuel injectors from the rail. Just pull the rail up and the injectors come with it. Or at least that is what I did. The injectors snapped back in without any problem when I pushed down on the rail to re-install.
