Soaking penetrating fluid into the threads overnight might help.
You might have broken a thread and it's locked the bolt.
Sometimes a little crap on the threads can make it seem like it will never budge
and then a little lube and it's turning freely.
If you get the bolt to move you might have to turn it ccw and cw and try to get
it to go further each time.
If you snap it off you have to drill it out an re-tap it. This can be done without
damaging the hole but it takes some practice. Find someone that knows how
to do this.
An easy out probably wont help if a hex wrench can't budge it.
Just some thoughts.
