I think you're stuck trying to get them out with a pair of vise grips.
Some other things you could try:
Some other things you could try:
- spray it with penetrating lube like liquid wrench and wait a couple of days (spray it every day)
- try heating it up with a torch then backing it out.
- use a grinder to make two flat edges on the bolt head, then use vise grips.
- weld a bolt onto the head of the stripped one.
- use an eazy out to get the bolt out

What would be vice grips I looked on line and is it a wrench or something like a vice?

Though so do they come in bigger sizes(probably a very stupid question.) and this is a picture if my exact problem which you also probably figure I took the sway bar completely off hoping for it to be easier which it makes no difference

With the nut on? What would that do?
And I stuck a jack in between it and cranked it pretty far didn't want to damage anything and I can't get a vice grip to get on the end of the bolt and something else

It's just a press fit, you should be able to drive the bolt out with a BFH (hammer).

Got some liquid wrench penetrating oil sprayed it in ever thing around it. Gonna be driving without the sway bar though just until after work tomorrow. Hopefully these suckers come out with ease.

Rent a ball joint press, it'll push it right out if you don't want to beat on it.

It will allow you to hit the end of the bolt and not destroy the threads...
From the looks of your last picture it has a spline ike a wheel stud, take a hammer and hit it....

Clearly it's a strong bolt. Give it a good whack. I would start with a couple days of liquid wrench. That stuff is a miracle worker.
