grab a drill bit .... that is close to the size of the bolt .... and drill 'r out 
sounds like your only option ........ but I would approach a body shop just to see if they have had any experience with doing this ...... there might be a tool

Grind thru the nut with a Dremel and cutoff wheel. Or, I have used a nut splitter( Sears has them) with mixed results. Usually I use the splitter, mangle the nut and then use the Dremel to finish. Worst was a lug nut

Something to be aware of -- I read somewhere that if you overtighten the bolts holding the rear glass the window will shatter as in explode. So you might want to follow up on this issue.
