I did get one out yesterday with a screw extractor and an impact gun at low speed, but that was touch and go. So now I’m left with these 2 and I have so much work to do on the doors.
Am I completely missing a trick of the trade here? What can I do to get these stupid bolts out?!

I had a similar problem on my doors. I would do exactly what you said, except I was also putting a screwdriver into the heads and tapping them with a hammer to just help the PB Blaster get distributed. I got all but one off and ended up having to drill it out and use an easy-out to get it out. My heads were also fairly stripped from presumable the last owner trying to do the same thing.
