Hi
Any ideas to remove these 3 bols with thread issues? As you can see on the pictures, I already tried the screwdriver under the bolts’ lip without success.

Thanks in advance for any constructive suggestions.

Cheers

I managed to remove one of the bolts as you can see on the following pictures. I plan on drilling around the remaining bolt with the tool pictured below. Any other idea?
