Had difficulty with some seat hardware once, really stuck after 50 years. Definitely different animals but the solution was an impact. It was a screw head with regular, not philips head. I used all the usual tricks and finally after serious frustration had an idea to use a center punch on the outside most edge of the slot and strike it with a hammer in the direction I wanted to go. Finally it gave.

Maybe drill a small pit in the top of the bolt you want to budge and use the shock from a punch and hammer to "crack" it.

Good luck
