Hood hinge removal

So the little square nut is spinning around inside the housing. How do I remove my hood hinge bolts? Drill them out?

I had to drill one of mine out. I started a post on here about 1-2 months ago addressing the replacement of the nut inside the little box, got some good suggestions. The nut is a square stove bolt nut available at your local hardware store. I haven't fixed mine yet since I have bigger issues right now.

All 6 of mine are spinning. I guess I’ll have to drill them out.
