[6pack] TR6 Broken Shock Stem

I have managed to break off the top of the stem on my passenger side front
shock of my 74 TR6. I got the locking nut off and have the bottom nut just
past where the locking nut was when the top on the stem broke off flush with
the bolt. So now the top portion of the shock just spins when turn the nut.
The driver side is done. I kept spraying Kroil as I progressed hoping to
help the progress of removing the bolt but to no avail. I have loosened the
4 lower nuts and they were easier than the top bolts. Is my only solution to
cut the top of the shock off below the bolt?
