Audi day from hell, MAJOR problem

The day started out so-so when I replaced the fuel pump on my daughters CGT.
The design of that has irritated me big time before. Namely a check valve
that always lets go before the cap nut and _no_ room to put a wrench on it to
stop it.
Finally finished that PITA when I decided to finally do something about the
front end on the URQ. It clunks and wanders a bit and I have replaced struts,
bearings, ball joints & control arm bushings. The only thing left is the
subframe bushings.
I picked up a spare with good bushings in it and thought I would swap it in
and rebuild mine with new bushings. Six bolts and the sway bar- how tough
could that be? I've had it off before, and didn't figure it would put up too
much of a fight. WRONG!
What I now face is 1 bolt twisted off in the chassis, and the opposite corner
captive nut spinning in the body with the bolt partway out.
I can't imagine I'm the first one to suffer such a failure. Anyone BTDT?
How would a commercial garage handle this? There has to be a way, I just hope
it's within my capability (fingers tightly crossed, and prayer bones getting
a workout).
Sig-line proving painfully true.
