stuck license plate bolts

I just moved from Massachusetts to Connecticut and need to put on new plates. Three of the bolts on my front plate are stuck fast and the fourth turns freely--I can hear the nut in back moving around. Someone hit my front bumper hard last spring--some of the other car's paint remains on the plate bolts. This must be the source of the problem.
I've sprayed everything with WD-40, but the bolts are still stuck. (Even this wouldn't solve the problem of the fourth bolt.) It looks as if the nuts are between the plastic bumper cover and the actual bumper--completely out of reach, with the resources I have. Any suggestions?
Thanks as always to the list, Chris Hill
