I believe those nuts are crimped, and the threads are probably rusted and fused solid. You're in for a fight.
I got a Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench with Friction Ring specifically for dealing with problems like this. It is amazing and has saved tons of time. But an impact wrench might not work if the torx head is damaged enough.
Skip the torch. If you can't get an impact on it, your best bet is to cut the bolt off. You have three options: Cut the nut-side off and punch the bolt out through the bushing and axle mount. This won't work if the bolt has rusted solid to the steel insert in the bushing (it probably has). Option two is cut through the bushing directly next to the mount, and punch the bolt-head out. The last option is to cut the torx head flush with the mount and punch the bolt out along with the bushing.
For cutting, I recommend a saws-all with a carbide-tipped blade as the safest option. Be careful to not cut into the mount too much. If you don't have a saws-all, you could try to cowboy it with an angle grinder with cut-off wheel. Check clearance and geometry to make sure the wheel is actually big enough to cut through before the grinder shaft or body hits. If you cut the head, hit it with a flap disc on an angle grinder (most under-rated angle grinder tool IMO) to get it flush with the mount so you can punch it through. Hell, you could flap-disc off the entire head - would probably be safer than using a cutting wheel under there. 40 grit flap discs take material off amazingly fast.
Apologies for the long post. I've been where you are and like to help folks who are trying to help themselves!
Angle grinder is best, but yhou can use a drill with a cutting disc that looks like this. HOWEVER, don't use a disc like I linked to, you want a cutting disk, and you cut straight down the front of the safe to cut the hinges off. Ask homedepot what the best disc is...They'll know... It will take some time, and make sure you have water on hand in case the sparks get smoky in the dust.
Source, I lost my combo and sentry sent it to me....Recently my ex took a sledge to it and got my booty.....
HOWEVER, the odds are REALLY slim that anything inside it is dangerous, but it was pretty well hidden, so it could be ANYTHING. You should be careful. Like I said earlier, if you have the Serial Number, send it to sentry, these are the instructions. call ahead to make sure they even HAVE combos for that SN....Otherwise you'll be wasting your time.....If you are a member of AAA they might notarize your letter for free...
I’d use a flapper sander wheel something like this
These things ROCK.

Expensive as poop but if you use it right(no down pressure) they last and work amazing.
Oh and here’s an example of the flapper discs I’m talking about (anywhere from 60-100 grit is probably fine):

And here are the sanding pads:

You’ll also need this backing piece to attach the sanding pads too. It seems like a lot but trust me, it will save you so much precious time and energy that you need when you are in school:

The metal on those is recessed. Something like this would probably be a better choice though.
They're orange. https://www.amazon.com/Walter-15W506-Flexsteel-Flap-Disc/dp/B01MYGCBNX
This place also ships and is pretty cheap if you need anything abrasive.

Can’t say enough about these wheels. They make things so much easier and last longer.
