drill them out with a bit one size smaller then the olt it self then re-thread the hole or you can buy an easyout set... they go for roughly $25- $30

Before you attempt to unscrew the bolts after you drill a hole for the ez out, Be sure to soak the bolt area with a good penetrating oil. I found Pb Blaster works best for me.
