Hi Terry
There are captive nuts welded onto the back of that hinge area in the door.
Sounds as if they have broken off and are just spinning as you turn the
bolts.
You probably will have to cut them unless you can figure a way to get a
wrench in there and hold that nut.

I have some pictures of the door with the skin removed so that you can see
what you are up against.
