Default pillow mount studs stripped out need help

ok so i went to start putting in new struts today and all 4 studs on both of my pillow mounts are stripped out and the nuts wont come off so my question is what would be the best way to get the nuts off and also will i have to replace my pillow mounts or can i just replace the studs??
