This always happens. Usually the nuts just seize to the studs without a hope 
of it coming loose.

I get out the dremel with a cutting disc and go to town. I went through a 
whole case of discs for four bolts, but saved me a LOT of aggrivation.

Doubt it. Make it easy on yourself, and just pick some new bolts up.
