You're probably thinking of the liquid with "square" particles that
wedge and/or jam into voids to build up worn (especially Phillips) screw
heads.
Another approach is the use of an "Easy-Out" used primarily by the
automotive guys. Essentially a hardened "left-hand" coarse threaded,
tapered thingy that can be jammed into a hole drilled into a broken
bolt. They are available in smaller sizes and will often work on a
rounded hex or Bristol screw.
