Unhappy TC drop help

So while removing the bolts on the transfer case, on of the studs sheered off flush with the frame. Then when i went to remove the other stud with the "double nut" trick all it did was strip out the thread on the bolt. Need help asap. This is my dd and need to get places

my pipe wrench also just turned on the thread. but that might be becuase the wrench is a little big. and i had propane which prolly wasnt hot enough. might try to get some MAP and do it. but it sure didnt see like it wanted to move for anything.

also on the drivers side the stud sheered right off so im all out of ideas on that

MAP gas burns 500 degrees hotter than propane.

pipe wrench all the way, i had to do it on my DD.. i guess the last person to own mine had some trannyish work done on it and used RED locktite. was a b**** and 1/2. used mass amounts of heat and a pipewrench.. i used vicegrips to tighten the pipewrench and i put my foot one of the tires to get some extra leverage.. took like 1/2 hour to break all four free..
pipewrench and heat should do it.
