Spray some PB BLASTER on them and let them sit, it's a penetrating fluid. You can use heat if it is in a safe area to do it as in propane torch, and you can break them and then use what is called an E Z OUT where you can drill into the bolt after the head is broken off and then when you put the drill in reverse it bring the broken bolt out as it reverses. Check at Sears for one if you don't knwo what I mean.
