I have disassembled a caliper and clamped the axle once too, that one was a dickhead.
That sweet sweet last resort. had a set once where the owner went neanderthal with various incorrect tools. Made an utter mess of both the pad bolt and the caliper bolts (Don't ask). Had to drill that pad bolt out and push it out of the other side.
Threads were intact. I was proud that day.

Getting it out can be a fucker. I find a screwdriver bit held tightly in place with a big set of mole grips (although a better clamp would be better) and then turned with a small adjustable can work to get it going when normal screwdriving isn't doing it, a mate of mine says a drill can grab them quite well although I've not tried that.
