Yes, A box wrench should do the trick, but they may be rusted as others 
have mentioned.

I replaced those 3 caged nuts with speed nuts as used on the 4 and above 
cars for fender (wing) attachment.

Well, I restored my TR6 from "the brink" some years ago and never
had issues like this. These three bolts *must *be removable because many
of you have done it.  :- ) But these are more challenge than I have
encountered
before.... I managed to squirt some penetrant up to the back of the middle
and upper bolts. The head on the bottom one is rounded and the back end
of that bolt is a rusted stem. To add insult to injury, these bolts aren't
even accessible to a cut-off wheel!

As always, I'll just keep trying...

Partial success! Two of the three bolts have given up the fight! Yes!! I
found a good-enough combination of just the right tools, at just the right
angle, plenty of Aero Kroil penetrant and a not too awkward body-position
to get the top and middle bolts loosened. They have let go of their
respective slots. But I have a feeling the bottom bolt will need me to use
a Dremel and cut-off tool, though there's very little room to get in
there....

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll keep them in mind for when I move over
to the other side of the car..... I almost  went the combat engineer
route!!!
