Drill them out. Then helicoil them M8, they'll be stronger than new.

Hey Tim,
I had to do this many moons ago when my (then) idiot brother-in-law, who knew everything, figured that 100 foot/pounds of torque was good for
those
bolts! What I do is drill the bolts out further, until there isn't much left but the threads. I've always been able to peel them out after that. You do
have
to be very careful, so as not to ruin the threads
