    Easy fix if you got the right tools.
    Go down to Sears and drop $20 for a set of Bolt Outs

    They have saved my ass quite a few times. They basically cut into the bolt while you turn them with a wrench. Its gotta be one of my favorite tools.

    while you're at it, you might as well soak all the bolts in PB blaster or marvel mystery oil to make sure you wont have any more problems with stuck bolts.

    If you have 12 point sockets you might want to ditch them and get some 6 point ones, they have a tendency to not round out nuts and bolts like 12 points do

    Vice grips might work, im thinking that its a pretty tight fit in there and Im not sure if you can fit a set of vise grips in that tight ass space.
