Shaft coupling

Hi all. I have inherited a running A4 if I can get it out of the boat. Trouble is that the p o has ground the heads off the 3 shaft coupling bolts and rounded the set screw beyond use. Question is are the bolts threaded into the coupler as well as the plate it mates to or is the coupler unthreaded which makes a big difference in how to attack this fiasco. Got to drill out the set screw for sure but the three bolts will be super difficult if not impossible to drill in the boat. I promised the guy I would only cut the shaft if all other options fail. Any help appreciated. Mike
