Multiple combination wrenches (spanners). Most other brute force methods are obviously out.

Use a hex bit on the bolt, one small wrench to grip the bit and chain a few wrenches together for leverage. They will wrap around in an approximate circle for a small space.

They are working in a small sealed space, filled with nitrogen and only a small access hatch. So .... SFH?

Tiny fucking air hammer, they'll get dental tools and get it open.

Add a tiny fucking blowtorch and they might just break those bolts.
