Bad luck there mate, body lifts are usually a piece of piss.

You could try grinding the head of the bolt off, then lift the body up high, drill a small hole next to the captive nut and try and get a tack weld onto it.

Sometime this will happen.
Carefully mark the position of the bolt & drill a 30mm hole in the floor [there may be two layers of floor]
When the caged nut is exposed drill out the bolt & then feed the new bolt up through the drilled caged nut & fit a new nut on top.
When finished be sure to tape up the hole so no dust & water gets into the car.
