Grab the head with a pair of vise grips and use an impact on the nuts below while someone is holding the vise grips. If that don't work use a hot wrench

Every bolt on my bed was rusted together.
I took a grinder with cut off wheel and slotted the head of the carriage bolt.
Then clipped some needle nose vise grip onto the slot heat and a big F'n breaker bar on the nut.

shipwrecked, I did this. Only difference is I used an impact on the nuts. Worked like a champ. Thanks for the idea.
