If you have enough room, take a dremel with a cutoff wheel and make a slot
in each bolt. Then use a flatblade screwdriver and remove them. Another
possibility is to use a left-hand twist drill bit and start drilling. They
will probably spin right out!
The piece that has the wires attached to it has a set screw on the bottom of
the housing. Loosen it and pull the switch out. You can then use a stubby
flatblade screwdriver as a key.
