See if you can get some Holts Rustola or GT85. These are specifically designed for releasing seized bolts (unlike WD which is designed to be multipurpose).

Otherwise you could try a blowtorch, just dont go too near the pipes. I had to use one on my 220 turbo years ago and I thought I had no hope of getting the bolts out as they had rounded but I got them glowing red hot, smashed a smaller socket on top, and undid!!!

Hope you have some luck with it mate
Never tried Holts or Gt just soaked bolts for days before I start but going to get a can to try :-)

U cant beat the old smaller socket approach sorted out many a rounded bolt using that option mind u cheapo sockets tend to give up before the bolt lol!

Best things I ever purchased was my impact driver and impact wrench although it has proved a little aggressive at times :-))
