You should be able to take the engine mount off the engine and cut the bolt.

if the top half of the mount is spinning then insert a screwdriver into one of the 3 windows to give you leverage to keep it from spinning the hat portion. if it is the bottom half then you will need some large channel locks to grip it while you loosen the bottom nut.

if the stud is spinning through the hat then you will need to take the whole mount back off the engine and put the rubber portion into a vice somehow.
