Well I tried a search using "floor pan bolt" and got some threads. Most people seem to use a dremel or similar to just cut it out then either jerry-rig a new arrangement or buy a new clip/nut assembly.

Thanks for the input... just ordered two new and two extra for my spares box from the dealer.

I will try to brace the nut in place to let me try to extract the bolt but given the ambient temps here now I'm not sure how long my patience will hold up tomorrow.
