edit: Hammering the bolts and careful use of a 6mm allen wrench was finally able to free them. For anyone who finds this while searching, the six bolts are 6mm in size and had Loctite red applied to them at the factory. Cleaning out the crud in the bolt hole, plus hammering in the allen wrench + a little heat will help you free them.

Original problem...
I've run into at least a couple of stripped rear driveshaft bolts. These are the Allen head ones at the rear. Any advice for getting these things loose? Otherwise, would removing the center U-joint enable me to disconnect the front section of the driveshaft? This is all part of the transmission swap I've been working on.
