If the bolts are tight he could try barring over the crank pulley a bit to see if there is another section of flex plate that still has good ring gear. At least it might get it started and moved to a good repair location is that’s it.

How could the bolts get that loose and I believe they are stripped out because I tried to tighten them back down and they just kept spinning

FYI there’s no video on your last post. The forum will only accept small files. Normally you’ll need to put a video up on YouTube and then share the link.
Stripped bolts doesn’t sound good. My first thought was maybe longer bolts but I doubt there’s enough meat left to hold long term. You’ll probably need to helicoil the holes. Maybe one of the other fellas will have a better idea.
