have you tried mole grips on the bolts? you can buy gasket scrapers if you wanna buy one or you can use a stanley knife blade but you gotta be really careful that you dont dig into the metal

get a good single hex socket the bolts should come out then if not tap the next size down on ,if you want a new sump i have one nearly new you can have cheap maybe even got a gasket not sure :)
