since the bolt things had no shape to them whatsoever I just removed the instrument cluster took a dremel and cut a slit into each one and unscrewed them with a flat tip screw driver

About the same as what the FSM says. Take apart, hit with chisel, use flathead screwdriver to unscrew. The one on my parts car had actuall BOLTS! very nice to take out.

Yep, I've used a chisel in the past just to get the sharp edge to dig into the security bolts.
I've also used a small Vice Grip to get those things to turn.
