Get new bolts. Grind off the bad bolt/nut to enable you to remove the rod.

Once the bad bolt has been ground off at the nut end and the panhard rod has been dropped - is the old bolt easily removed without dismantling any more of the vehicle?

Unless you don't have sufficient clearance/space to work, otherwise there is nothing much you need to remove.
