Yes, that's an option. I suspect there's a fair bit of bolt sticking out
from the body after the stanchions are removed so leverage shouldn't be too
much of an issue. I think I'll leave that option until I know the liquid
wrench isn't going to work.
Frankly I'm surprised these are that stiff since they were off the car for
paint 10-15 years ago ;)

Art,
I tried all kinds of things including an impact driver which dented the
sheet
metal until finally I took a large drill bit and drilled at the centre of
the
screw (bolt?) head, until the head came off. After that the stanchions could
be
removed (since at least one side was already disconnected from the
windscreen).
I grabbed the rest of the bolt with vice grips expecting a struggle but they
then turned out like a knife slicing through butter.
