Default Control arm problems

So I have a '95 EG. The body has plenty of miles on it so it doesn't surprise me that the rear control arms are entirely locked up. I'm afraid im going to strip the bolt heads off trying to get them out. I am wanting to replace the control arms. How can I get these things out? Any help would be appreciated.

use a 12 piont socket lessen uur chance of strippen and it gets a good grip

I hear that the heads on these things sometimes break off... if that happends can i just drill the thing out? if I do that can i get another bolt in there to hold the new control arm on?
