They're a real pain to get at, but a mirror can be quite useful in locating them. An allen key on a small 3/8" or 1/4" ratchet is the best tool for the job IMO

Dremel cutting disc to put a slot in it for a screwdriver?
Cut the head off the bolt and when the manifold is off use some mole grips on the remaining thread that's sticking out?
Or, laugh about it.
They're all worth a try.
