Default Landau bar on sport Coupe.

I'm trying to remove the Landau bars on my 1931 Sport Coupe. A threaded bolt affair screws into a socket (long hex nut) that is attached to the wood on the inside of the fabric top. Problem; The threaded bolt is rusted into the long hex nut. I've tried "Corrosion X" and it won't budge. I don't want to tear into the fabric top to remove the long hex nut. I would like to replace the whole attaching assy. but it looks like I can't do it without removing the fabric. I've got some "Kroil" on order.
What next??

Kroil always works for me. Don't get any on the outside fabric.
