Ive had luck with heating the bolt good and hot and letting it cool off few hours before trying to pull out, give it a shot of penetrat before trying to turn. Also like fordman said and when youve heated the spendle around the treads put a piece of ice on the bolt to cool it and make it contract and it should turn out for you.
