How do I get head bolts out of my 78 CB750K?

I have tried stubby wrenches, crowsfoot wrenches, and nut drivers. Nothing fits around the valve springs. I have the outer bolts loose but cannot get a wrench into the middle ones.

Can anyone help?

I guessing that you did not remove the cam towers. After they are removed all the head bolts are easily accessible.
