Default 2005 s type thermostat housing bolt stripped

Changing my thermostat today and two of the three bolts just turn and will not back out of the housing. How can I get these removed?

Default Ouch!!

Sorry to hear. Hope mine are good. If i were going to try, i would lube with penetrant then twist and pull with small vise grips. I am not looking at my housing right now...maybe too tight
