Engine Mount Troubleshooting

So I've been working at getting my engine mounts off. I managed to get the two larger bolts out from underneath, but I just don't think I'm going to be able to manage to get the two smaller 6mm off to tops. I'm afraid of stripping them out because the access to them is just so bad. I was thinking of cutting the backing off of the bolts to free them, buying new bolts and putting new nuts on the back with some threadlocker. It's either that or going to a mechanic to see if he can get the bolts loose for me then replacing the mounts myself. Has anyone else done anything like this to get the 6mm bolts off their engine mounts?
