I should have said front bolts under the floorpan - the ones I'm trying to remove are forward of the driver's seat.

So far no luck, and I've now rounded the head a bit. I see a lot of rust on the threads, I think the bolt is now part of the sleeve. I also tried grinding a notch in the head and using my impact flathead, which is now shattered. The head had corroded to the point that a metric socket was too loose a fit, although when I heat it it almost fits a standard socket.

The first question I should have asked was, are these bolts replaceable? I see SOR has the rubber but not the hardware.

Next, assuming I've pretty much destroyed the bolt I have and it's still stuck, how should I remove it?
