You may not need new bolts, you may just need to get the bolts back in the holes they are meant to be in. Either way, it’ll mean pulling the seat apart. To do this, use a wide flat blade screwdriver to carefully prize off the staples around the edge. If you are careful you may be able to get away with just undoing 3/4 of them. The top of the bolts should be held in place with some tape, however this may have dried out and become loose, in which case re-seat the bolt heads and use duct tape to secure them. Then reattach the seat cover and staple back in to position.

I love fixing stuff and taking things apart, it always gets me excited to take things apart and see what makes them tick. Sometimes I take apart perfectly functional things just to see how they work. Anyone else like this? Sorry for the thread-jack, just throwing that out there…
Anyway, I’d recommend using a vice if you have one, or a pair o pliers and a hammer, or maybe just bite it furiously until it bends back.
