You could try chemically dissolving the rubber and then gain access to the bolts.

My 300SD mount was pretty bad, not AS bad as your but not too far. My bolts were 6mm alan bolts, are yours the same or are they standard hex? I dont think theres enough clearance to get a standard hex + socket in there...

A quick google search says Naphta, petroleoum, turpentine, or ether will do the trick, but all of those will dissolve paint as well!

You can keep chipping away at the rubber then get a long 6mm alan socket and have at it. This was not a fun task on my SD even less on the 560SEL
