Drill the welds and peel them off then weld in new/used ones. shop would be around $600.

Drilling out the spot welds should present no problem to structural integrity provided the unibody is supported and leveled. Spot welding, then stitching the rockers back in shouldn't present a problem either if done with care. The rockers do not need to be fully welded end to end for support, but they will need seam sealer and rust proofing for preservation.
