If the head of the bolt is big enough and your hands steady enough you can use an angle grinder and cut the sides of the bolt in parallel and then use a spanner on it.
But don't blame me if you destroy the mudguard in the process.
If you haven't used WD40 yet you can use oxalic acid instead, it's more efficient against basically any oxides. But it's water soluble, so it's not usable on greasy/oily surfaces.
And watch out, it completely destroys the look of anodized aluminium.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!

Use a hacksaw to cut a slot in the bolt heads for a screwdriver, and if you've got an automatic punch, use it on the sides of the bolt a few times.
[edit] Use the punch on the sides of the nut, not the bolt.

For problems such as these I use a Dremel MotoTool.
I can reslot the bolts, cut off either end (depending upon accessibility), and otherwise cause mayhem limited only to the target component.
It's a handy and precise weapon for many battles.

Unless you've rounded the heads off I suggest getting a bigger cheater pipe to stick over the end of your ratchet. Adding 4 or 5 feet of pipe will turn you from a pasty faced code money into He-Man.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

even in this case all may not be lost. A good Stillson wrench can get a purchase on almost any metal surface if there's sufficient space to use it.
