Try some heat.

If all else fails, I have used a head stud puller to attach to hex bolts before.

I must agree with Dennis's approach, welding on to the bolts will make removing them much easier.

Good luck,

I have the Autozone brand of "bolt-out" or whatever. The problem is, the
bolts are inset in the flex plate without enough clearance above or around
the head to get one of these on it. I also have the kind you drill a hole in
the head and screw into, but "screwed" is the key word whenever I have used
these. Anyway, I don't weld and I need to get the bus back on the road so it
will probably keep dripping (the tranny was out for rebuild). I might try
hitting it with a propane torch and hammering in a bigger 12-pt, add some
curses if the kids are out of earshot....
