If you have reverse-twist drill bits, sometimes just trying to drill the
bolt head with one of these will generate enough torque/heat to break the
bolt loose.

As Vince said, use patience.
But, if you're in a hurry, drill out the bolt heads. I was in a hurry
once at a pick-and-pull junkyard, going after fenders and other front-
end parts. I brought a battery-powered portable drill, extra batteries
and drill bits. Worked great, was done real fast. Of course you'll
need new nuts and bolts.
