It can be difficult, it depends how many seized fasteners you run into.

Which mount is it & do you have some photos ?
Have you tried it yet with a special tool for rounded-off bolts ?

The two bolts you mention are always very very tight, they weld themselves into the mounting, because of dissimilar metals there is a good chance that the bolt is well and truly fused in. I have an engine mount from a friends TF where both bolts had sheared and the engine dropped. both halves were unbolted from engine & subframe and replaced, two new bolts with copper grease on threads.
