How to remove bolts from damaged front crashbar tesla model 3 2019 with 160k miles

Hi, I have a 2019 model 3 LR that has front end damage and I am trying to remove the crash bar. Some of the bolts are pushed into the crash cans so I can't get a socket over them (see pic attached)

Any ideas? Was considering buying a angle grinder to cut the metal around the bolt however I have never done this. If this method is recommended any advice on what to get exactly is greatly appreciated!

I did originally consider taking the cooling fan module out but that woukd mean ultimately draining the coolant which I am not keen on.

Thanks!
