I installed a cooler master sedion 120 cooler on my cpu. I over tightened two of the nuts on the bolts holding the cooler to the motherboard? Any tips for getting the bolts off? I tried holding the blots with a vice grip and using a screw driver on the bottom of the motherboard but i end up slipping all the time.

Get a drill or electric screwdriver and make sure you have a bit that can fix in the screw. Then make sure you have it set to loosen the screw and it should be much easier. Just be careful that you don't stripe the screw. Also the vice might make it easier just don't break your cooler.

Did you put any type of adhesive on the bolt? You could use a hairdryer to soften it if you did. If you didn't use any adhesive then you might have to take it somewhere to get it looked at. If you are using a battery powered drill you might have to get a more heavy duty one.
