JB Weld is not welding. It is not heat either. You're now at a point where you're going to weld a bolt head on and force it out, drill it out and source a new steering wheel, or take a cold chisel and a BFH and try to hammer it CCW to get it to back out.

JB weld has no shear strength to speak of.
The only way that wheel is coming off now is if you either thermally weld a fastener to the bolt head that you can subsequently apply torque, or drill the existing bolt out. I had to leave a pristine leather steering wheel in the JY because someone prior had stripped out the Allen bolt head.
