Please Help. Can't remove the stock spoiler

Did anyone have the same issue? there are 4 nuts inside the decklid that hold the spoiler. When I try to remove the nuts, they spin with the studs so the nut is not coming out. Any ideas? please help. thanks!

If you look at the the threaded part, there is a place for a small Torx on the end to hold while you turn the nut.

What are you going to do after you get them off? Can you just unscrew the stud and nut together? If not how much stud is protruding below the nut? can you get a set of needle nose vice grips on them?

I have to put the spoiler back as is. I am just taking it off to install the stripe on the decklid top. The stud is not really long enough to hold it and meantime make the space for the wrench to rotate the nut. I don't want to unscrew the stud with the nut as there is another nut on the spoiler holding the stud and I am goint to loose it, it will fall inside the spoiler....I don't know, I guess I have to install the stripe somehow without removing the spoiler. I know a lot of people are removing their spoilers, I wonder if they had the same issue....

OK. I just tried this, use a 5/32 socket or driver to hold the bolt and unscrew the nut.
