Angry HELP! Cant get motor mount bolt out!

I need some ideas guys. I'm doing a poly motor mount swap. Everything was going fine until I hit the last bolt holding the clamshell to the motor on the drivers side. The 4 on the passenger side were not problem, first 3 on the drivers side not problem, last bolt will not come out. I have sprayed it with pb blaster several times and let it soak in over night. Hit it with a mini torch to try to heat it up nothing. I've pulled on my kobalt ratching wrench so hard I can feel it bending nothing. Now the head is half way stripped and I don't know what the hell to do. I'm almost ready to break my drimmel out, cut it off and try to drill it out the bolt and use a bolt / screw remover. Please help this is holding up my install. Thanks

Get a 6 point socket and a long breaker bar. Or an impact gun with a 6 point socket

I was thinking about an impact i just don't think theres room to get in there. Same thing with the breaker bar. I will go pick up a 6 point socket though. Mine are the star shaped ones.

Yeah a 12 point is bad on stuck bolts. Just get the correct size 6 point and a breaker bar.
