Once you have made it through the head of the bolt, the head will pop off and the remaining stud should be easily removed by hand or with needle nose pliers. Worst case, if you cannot grip the remaining stud, you can use a screw extractor. Because the stud is not rusted in place, there is very little chance of breaking a screw extractor.
Doing it this way, the head will be completely gone. Then, there will no longer be any torque holding the "stud" in place. It will then be easy to remove the stud.....
