Rear seat removal

Hi folks, my troubles seem to be never ending, maybe I Gould just leave things alone?!

While trying to remove the rear seat, I am having major troubles with one of the 2 t50 bolts that are in the centre. First off I'll admit I made a mess of both of them using a t45 before I realised.

Anyone who has ever had to do this will no doubt know how much of a pain it is trying to see the bolts never mind removing them! I have tried hammering in a t50 and slowly slowly with a big bar but no joy. I tried hammering on an 18mm socket but again, no joy. The bolts seem to be made of pure diamond.

I'm wondering if I should go at it with an impact gun and the t50, get a screw extractor, locking wheel extractor or give up. Obviously I want to keep the rear seat otherwise I'd just tear it out.

Here is a pic of the other bolt after around 5 mins of hammering on an 18mm socket, barely a scratch.... Any ideas?

I would try a locking wheel nut remover, i tried for over an hour witj many of tools etc trying to get a locking wheel nut off, even had a torque wrench set at over 200nm and it was clicking away, thought once loosened it would have damaged the bolt but there was hardly a mark on it
