rear lower control arm help

I have a 91 gta. the lower control arm bolts are gulded to the bushing. I have the nuts off on all 4 bolts but the bolts are stuck in there. if I turn the bolt itself the rubber part of the bushing spins with it. I beat the living hell out off all 4 of them none will budge.sprayed with pb blaster(prob not a good idea) and beat the hell out of them again, wont budge. are the any tricks I am missing? I really don't want to cut the bolts.

please help thank you

Cut the bolts. Wizz wheel. Get new ones. Not a whole lot else to it, for those of us like you and me who are deep in the Salt/Rust Belt. Slather the new ones LIBERALLY with a mix of melted paraffin and grease so they don't do it again.
