Ok so I searched for over an hour and found 2-3 in helpfully forums on this. When I was removing the subframe support, all the bolts came out with the threads smoothed off. Not sure if from the previous owner or just age but subframe has definitely been dropped before. 3 are out, the threaded nuts are still in there but possibly stripped. One is stuck in and I can’t get out. It goes up and down but can’t get it out... any ideas guys? Having hard time attaching photos off my phone will tomorrow

I used a helicoil kit to repair one of those bolt holes. How much room is there under the head of the last bolt?
You can try to wedge a flat screw driver under the bolt head and pry while unscrewing with a wrench or impact.
