Plumbing – Delta Leland Kitchen Faucet Removal

I am trying to remove a Delta Leland Kitchen Faucet.
Kitchen Faucet[![][1]]2
When I try to loosen the bolt from the bottom of the sink, the entire fixture spins. I can't get any leverage to turn the bolt. If I have someone while hole the faucet and I turn the bolt, it still spins.
Any way to got this off with out using a grinder? There is a little bit of space at the base of the faucet, so would prying off the fixture be an option? Thanks!

Any type of hammering, prying, twisting or chiseling you try to do is liable to either bend/break your sink or damage the finish if it is a porcelain type sink.
