Exhaust to turbo bolts stuck

Went out to try to replace the gasket that blew out, what I thought would be a simple job has now become a PIA.

For starters the front 2 bolts on the FP race manifold are stuck, one i started to round the edges of the bolt, so I stopped on that one. the 2nd has 5 washers under it and is also stuck.

The back two bolts which I know are there I cant even feel so I will come back to them later.

I turned the car on and let it come up to temp, heating up the bolts thinking that would help but still no go.

Any suggestions? It has a heat blacket on the exhaust manifold that I'm not sure how to take off with out cutting the wire pieces which look are holding it the manifold (not sure what/where to get new ones if I do this)

Sockets wont fit around the bolts due to the manifold, so I have is the standard wrench heat to apply torque.
