Rusted bonnet hinges

So since I have my dashboard off so I can repaint it, I figured it 
would also be a good time to replace my entirely mangled bonnet 
hinges as well.  Unfortunately when I tried to remove the bolts that 
hold the hinges to the chassis, I discovered that they are completely 
rusted in place.  These things are so well bonded together that when 
I put the socket on the bolt and try to turn it, I begin to lift the 
side of the bonnet!  Does anybody have any suggestions or experience 
with getting these thing out when they are in such a state?
