Front alignment bolts seized?

Front alignment bolts seized?
I took my daily driver in for its annual autox alignment last week and the front alignment bolts appeared to have seized or stuck. We lubed it up, I drove it around for the past week and tried again the other day. Still no luck. Any suggestions?
I'm worried that we're gonna break the bolts and what not and I'll have a car that's out of commission waiting for parts from Mazda.

You will have a difficult time getting a drill in there.....but if you have a 90 degree adapter for an air drill it might fit. Then you only have to replace the bolt ( about $12) Otherwise you have to cut off the control arm...and replace that and the bolt.....( a lot more expensive)
Did you try an impact gun and a lot of penetrating oil.....you might get it loose that way if you are patient.
