punch it w/ what, a hammer or a tool designed for it? Not too much room to swing down there since I have it up on jackstands. I've already used both a hammer and an air hammer.

Did you squirt them with PB Blaster...some oil to penetrate the rust? Might help it slide out.
Not sure if there is room...but might be able to attach a slide hammer to the bolt to get it to come out.

i'll try some propane i guess. i'm just worried about the brake lines and the steering rack, since I've never used propane before. Any tips on how to best use the propane?

well there's no point of hammering a punch if hammering the bolt doesn't even work
