Sounds like it's seized. Is it a dissimilar metal situation? As in a steel bolt in an aluminum threaded hole? Regardless, let it soak in the penetrating oil a good long time as suggested, try again. Use the longest handled breaker bar you can get in there. If it still won't budge, try an air impact wrench, preferably one that can deliver several hundred lb-ft of torque. If that fails, you might have to drill the stud out, retap the hole and get new bolts.
