Damn, i have never had that problem, but, maybe you can grind the heads off of them and then pull the plate up and then put some vise-grips on the studs left and unscrew them. If thats not applicable, maybe you can drill them out, and re tap them, this time useing Stainless Steel screws.

be careful with drilling, heat or spark plus fuel vapors = explosion.
