Default Front Bumper Support Bolts

trying to get my front bumper off my audi a4 b5, they seem rusted and i can't fit my hex bolt in it. Don't want to keep trying might strip it.
How can i get them out ?

If you look around the back of the bumper (from the top), you can see the mounts they bolt into. Hose that area down with penetrent, like PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or Seafoam. Everything there is pretty beefy and shouldn't strip very easily, but certainly do what you can before you strongarm it.
