Nail in the coffin

if you have the 3/8 hex bolts on the caliper loosened all the way you would have enough of the head of the bolt showing to grab it with vise grips to pull it out

the threads are still on the inside of the caliper

so are you saying the threads are stripped?

Yea those bolts that hold it to the car, except on the new caliper I can't get them out to put it in the car

this post has me really confused, what do you mean on the new caliper you can't get them out? You can't get what out?

so are you saying the threads are stripped?

I think they are stripped but not sure how because the caliper is brand new

No, its not on the car, i took it out of the box and started spinning the bolts out with the exact tool that i used to take off the old caliper, it spins but nothing happens.
i bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C44UHI/?tag=gbody-20

There are no threads in the caliper. You just push them out.
