Broken rusted wingnut in the toilet tank

The wingnut in the bolt connecting the toilet tank to the bowl at the bottom is rusted and broken at the sides. However the wingnut still it in a good condition. I tried using the WD-40 to lubricate and use the adjustable wrench,regular wrench,pliers to remove the wingnut but it wouldn't remove. Then I am in the process of cutting the bolt with the junior hicksaw but it is painfully slow. Could you please advice other options or how to go about cutting the bolt using the junior hicksaw faster.

NOte: the toilet tank had 2 broken wingnuts . though the wrench doesn't seem to fit exact on the wingnut i somehow managed to removed one of them while the other one is unable to remove as stated earlier.

Thanks.
