center punch them and drill them out, try an easy out this is one of the few places those damn things may actually do some good.

or get a 8mmX6mm repair stud if you need to drill it oversize.

If there's any chance of getting them out without drilling them, try it. Clamp the vice grips on (if there's anything to get a grip on) and carefully twist 'em out. Replacements can be had easily at any decent hardware store (Hi-School Pharmacy carries 6mm automotive studs in my neck of the woods).

If you can't twist 'em out, you'll have to do as kiefernet says...
