Go ahead and see if you can wiggle the lower unit off of the broken bolts, may need to use a little heat, that way you will have some of the bolt to grip onto to help you get them out. Remember that you will have to rotate the drive shaft to align the roll pin that goes against the seal to get the lower unit off, just put the lower unit in gear and rotate the prop to turn the driveshaft.

so i have to rotate the prop and try to wiggle the lower unit off at the same time?

No, the lower unit will drop down about an inch or so before the roll pin will have to be lined up, that should give you enough room to get to power blaster or some other lube to break the corrosion loose on the broken bolts to drop the lower unit completely down while rotating the prop and aligning the roll pin.
