Someone decided to save a few cents and use regular instead of stainless steel screws for the license plates. Managed to swap the ones for the front over rather easily, but the back license plate looks worse and I haven't been able to remove the bolts. Tried cutting a groove with my dremel, drilling them out, all with penetrating fluid but to no avail and I don't want to put too much force on it and dent the tailgate. Do you guys have any ideas, or could I possible attack this from the other side by disassembling the tailgate?
Picture below is a bit older, but shows the problem. The other bolt looks worse, and both bolts were tightened so much they cracked the cover and had rust 'leak'.
