Default help removing bolt from lower strut mount

Hey guys was hoping someone has run across this before and could help me out or give some ideas to try. what i have is a lower strut mount bolt that will not come out. i have tried to beat it out using a punch and bf hammer, then i torched it up and beat on it some more with the bf hammer with no luck. both the head of the bolt and nut have broken off. thanks
