Squirt some penetrating fluid onto the reamaining thread of the screws and down the hole as best you can!
Depending how far down you have the bolts, you could try a hammer and punch and gently tap them round, if not drill the head of the bolts off, then carefully cut a slot into the top of the remaining shaft and use a flat blade screwdriver to undo or if you can file a couple of flats onto the shaft, you can then use an adjustable spanner to undo.
Make sure you cake the bolts in fluid though!
