Default How is this bolt supposed to be removed?

Im doing the rear main seal on my Jeep and got all of the oil pan bolts off except for the rear two by the transmission. If you have ever done this before you will know what i'm talking about, the bolts are in a small divot in the flare at the end of the oil pan to butt up against the transmission. There isnt enough space to put a socket around them since they are so tightly fit in there and they aren't oriented correctly to get a wrench or crows foot on them. Is there some other tool for removing these? I've been looking at them and try to get something on them for a while now and cant figure anything out?

I used a thin wall socket and an extension for mine.
