Get an "easy out" or some sort of stripped bolt remover. They can be had for about $10 a set iirc at Home Depot, Ace, Autozone, NAPA, etc. and come in very handy. They look almost like thread dies from a tap and die set

theres a couple ways to skin this cat

^^^broken bolt remover kit

impact socket + mallet/air hammer

cutting tool- cut new edges onto the nut and use a smaller size socket/wrench

cutting tool - cut the nut off (if youre careful, you can cut the nut off without messing up the bolt part ...... or if it is messed up like you said, just cut it all off and be done with it - if you have a replacement mount of course
