Update:

So I've tried soaking the thing in WD-40 and trying it - didn't work. I tried soaking it in PB blaster and vigorously tapping to try to work it in - also didn't work.

Last night I went to Harbor Freight and bought an impact wrench. Took it home and tried it on the bolt - it broke the tip of the T20 bit right off with ease.

Not sure what to do anymore... this thing is in there with some sort of godly amount of torque.

I think the last thing I'm going to try is to take a torch to it. The only problem I have with this is the 2nd shuttle's T20 is behind the track, with a small window cut in the track to access the bolt... It's going to be quite hard to torch that little guy through the little window without melting everything in the vicinity....

I just want my freaking window to work again... :'( This has taken up way too much of my time....
