autozone sells a set of cutting sockets for 3/8s that should be able to bite into them and take them out. You will have to replace what you are removing, since the sockets will maul what is left of them but its better than nothing. I had to use those cutters on some locking lugs once. Big PITA but they are useful for remobing any damaged/stripped stuff.
