djackson-1156 , You may want to remove the deck to aid/ease the bolt removal. Penetrating oil can help or hinder(try not to get too much on the head of bolt if you do use it). Methods that I have had success with in the past, socket type bolt extractor(available at most hardware and some rental stores), large vise grips,plumbers pipe wrench, weld nut over bolt head of similar size, file down bolt head to fit next size down socket/wrench,
Use a cold chisel and large hammer on the flat of bolt head get the chisel to bite, then on an angle in the direction to remove bolt bang bolt repeatedly/sharply to loosen bolt.
The video link below will show how each method is done for the most part. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Can you get a picture of these bolts? If you have a vise grip handy try using that to clamp onto the bolt tightly and see if you can get it to turn. Also, if you have a welder and experience you could try welding on a new bolt to the old one and trying to get it to twist out then.
