You can either gride the face of the plate off or drill the shear bolts

Around the edge of the plate?
And with shearbolts as you do them up they head snaps off them.

it had a bolt with a round head, kept hammering a screw driver at it and it came loose
took the plunger out of the stop solenoid and had the engine running hanging on the crane
