I recall reading before that these bolts are prone to shearing off. To limit the chances of this you can spray with wd40 on them everyday for 7 days prior to undoing. Otherwise you'll have to rethread them. Other more experienced hands will i'm sure reply.

I find plus gas is a much better penetrating lubricant than WD40 :y
