header bolt won't come out!

rear header bolt on driver side will not budge,jba shorty's are a horrible design for getting access to these bolts. I have tried grinding a socket down to get it on the bolt still will not move,have sprayed the s#$% out of it still no go.
Any suggestions please

Already tried the 1/4 inch drive,didn't move.Then I used a 3/8 drive but I didn't have a 6 point socket so it started to slip,today Im on my way to sears to get a 6 point 7/16 deep socket and try it again.wish me luck

Unhappy

well I'm really screwed now,this bolt will not move which leads me to believe it was cross threaded when installed some 10 yrs ago along with the jerk off mech. that didn't know what anti-sieze was.So unless anyone has a way to remove a stripped out head on this header bolt I guess i'll will start removing the head tommorrow.

If you can try and heat the cylinder head area with a small propane torch.
