It is most polite to take it and thank them.
if you just can't do it:
Thank you; I appreciate it, but I do not want to be a bother. Thanks again for the offer.

They are all very polite
I would use 3
By the way if you want to say it more casualy, to your friends you can say
Oh, Are you sure?
Is that okay?

Sentence number 1 and 3 sound the most natural, though 3 sounds a little more polite. "Thank you. I hope it's not too much trouble" is pretty common.

I would prefer the last sentence which is 4.
