Those are torque converter bolts. Been talked about a lot.
I'd use a die grinder and cutoff wheel or 4 1/2" grinder.
Lot of ways to do it. Air chisel, weld a nut to it, torch it off, it's your choice.

I think probably the easiest way to get the torque converter bolts off the flywheel is by getting the grinder wheel, cutting through them, then remove the converter, try to grind a screw slot ( for a flathead) in the end of the bolt, and try to unscrew them.. If they are kind of rusty spray them down with PB blaster and let them soak for a good while..
GOODLUCK
Edit- oh- Except for the above post about the Irwin removal sockets.. those things are ****...
