Any suggestions on how i can get these free?
I'm guessing someone has been in there before, and didn't replace the correct hardware. For the ones that just turn, maybe you can get some pliers or needlenose on them and turn and pull gently. For the torx, you may have to force them - but wait and see if someone posts a better idea.

no telling what damage was done to the threads behind the bolts - you may need an assortment of screws/bolts to reassemble with any strength (in some cases a strong zip tie might do). I had some of this on mine.
