We've all had those days. Totally defies the laws of physics.

If you can find your hammer, get a cold chisel and from the side of the 
bolt give the chisel a whack with he chisel pointed at the center of the 
bolt.  (You just want to create a good dent.  Then using the hammer and 
chisel on the dent angle the chisel so that when you hit it, you are 
turning the bolt in the direction to loosen it, and walk it on out. When 
done lie hammer down gently on the floor or ground.

If this isn't clear, email me and I will send my more detailed 
response.  Credit this tip to Shine Racing Service.
