Stupid day.

I can use vise grips for the furthest ones. But for the ones you have to accese via the rear deck I'm kinda at a loss.

so anybody have any ideas before I just drill/dremel the damn things off.

I've seen socket sets made for removing rounded off bolts. I think made by Craftsman.

If you don't wanna destroy the mount stud, use the dremel to make flat spots for a regular socket to grab onto. But probably not gonna be easy with the limited access there.

yeah there is socket set for sale...has like 5 sizes i think, works GREAT! are quite heavy duty too, the "teeth" are reversed, so as you turn to unscrew the nut, they dig into it (literally) and take the nut with them great stuff, i was going to buy it and return it, but it worked so well i kept the set for future use
