Check to see whether the clips on the bumper skin are broken. Also check the side brackets on the skin that slide onto the wings.

 

To get the bumper off, it might be best to cut off the bolt that's been destroyed - the bolts are held in by captive nuts on the bumper brackets, but they are inside the chassis leg when the bumper is on the car.

Is the captive nut inside loose?

 

If yes, depends what tools you have at your disposal... angle grinder, blow torch, drill, dremel!

 

If not then see if there is enough of the bolt left to get some Irwin bolt removers on the remains. If it's just a stud, then see if a stud removal tool will work.

 

Use plenty of Plusgas if you're not cutting it off.

Easiest way assuming you have or know someone with the equip is to weld another nut on top of it. Should be easy to get it out after that.
