 The crossmember will be a lot harder to replace than the bolt. ;-) I wouldn't grind the bolt, too easy to get overzealous and grind into the crossmember. I recommend  centerpunching the head of the bolt and drilling it with successively larger bits, that way there's less chance of damaging the crossmember. Cut the threaded part off to within 1/4" (6mm) and do the same there.
