Advice for rusted exhaust bolt removal?

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to swap my exhaust system out for a replacement, I bought a 2019 TRD OR, which had an MBRP cat back turn down installed, but the bolts attached to the flange closest to the engine (NOT with the springs, only the bolts) seem fused to the flange. I sprayed with rust remover, then gently tried a breaker bar to see what it would do, but it started to strip the hex head so I stopped.

Not really sure how to proceed. I consider myself handy enough, but I don't have a not of experience around this. Ideas are appreciated!
