Another thing which can often help with seized bolts is impact from a rattle gun.
Obviously not a beefy 1/2" number in this case, but a 1/4" screw gun would be the ticket, IMO... As long as it has nice torque modulation so you can avoid overdoing it.
It's surprising how effective those little whacks can be at getting stuff moving - the torque reaction you feel is often tiny compared to what you'd need without the impacts.
