Quoted from chuckwurt:Again these bracket appear to have been installed backwards.
I've seen them installed both ways and it appears the cabinet was countersunk for it but if they are press fit like that I'd definitely want them oriented inward so this can't happen.
If you can get a slot cut into the nut on one side you could use a stout regular screwdriver to hold it steady while unbolting. Maybe even making a bit of a notch by pounding the screwdriver in there, or wedging it from the sides, or in a prying fashion to provide some friction on the nut.
If you do resort to drilling maybe drill it from the head rather than the inside once you get enough of the head meat away it should pop off.
