If you are talking about the exhaust manifold bolts.... yes they can break. Heat and penetrating oil helps. 1st take 2 shots of Tequila and have at it.

i think the head stretch bolts themselves are being referenced in this case. They appear to be about 16mm in size to me.
Those are the head bolts. They will be tight but should come out with hand tools. Remove the valve covers first though, the other 5 are under the rockers. Here is the removal sequence for the driver side.
Yep, those are the head bolts. STOP WHERE YOU ARE, and don't try turning the ones you have exposed until you have removed everything under the rocker covers and everything down to the lower plenum as well.
The head bolts need to be removed carefully, in sequence, turning just a few degrees at a time especially when you are initially trying to crack them loose.
