Grinding is 5 times faster and safer for the fiberglass too. I long ago perfected my technique of sliding the grinding wheel across the face of the bolt head/rivnut until its flush with the F.G. and then tap it through the mtg hole. No fuss, quick, and no damage if you do it right.

The washer fluid bucket is a good example. I had a bolt / rivnut spin in a tight area. I used a drill to pop the head.
Once the bucket and tank could be removed, I was able to grip the back of the rivnut with a small vise grip and was able to grip the protruding nub with another vise grip and back it out. I took a rivnut tool and re-cinched all of the rivnuts. Along the way I did replace a few rivnuts in the trunk area. here

It somewhat depends on what state it's in. Is it empty or does it have a seized bolt in it? Is the shroud still on the car?
I got it Dennis about holding the bolt head. If there is room (The big if) then grinding is faster and safer. If you have to come at it straight on then you gotta do what you gotta do right?

I have a rivnut that is attached through the sill of my Mazda, it has become loose in the hole and now spins when you try and screw a bolt into it.
Whats the best way to remove it so that I can fit a new one? Is it a case of just cutting it out with a dremil or is it a hacksaw job? more
I have in the past ground them off with the angle grinder, and knocked the remainder in, and replaced them with Stainless Steel ones, and stainless bolts, along with some anti seize.

Does depend on what the component you are attaching is, though. Is it something dinky like a pad eye? Or something substantial like a cleat, bimini mount or antenna mount that really should be thru-bolted anyway? here

For the swing-out step mount, since you don't have access to the backside, how about this thing and a 1/4" bolt.
