1. plaster in wd40.
2. leave for about a day.
3. hammer on a smaller socket.
4. nut should screw out, hopefully stud and all, as you'll be fitting new ones anyway.

good luck!

weld a nut on the end and unscrew it, when you say the thread almost non-exstistant, you mean the stud sticking out yeah?
Although these engine go for 60-30notes, maybe cheaper to buy another one

yep a small socket should get the bolts off, re drill the threaded holes and use a helicoil to rethread them, only drill them a couple of mil bigger and for god sake drill them straight.
