Dude....look at my MN Gold thread. Had the exact same issue....same bolt. I got it out and two more just like it. Patience. Used a a crow-bar....(carefully) to walk the pump off the face of the motor 1/16of an inch to get Sea foam to the thread side of the bolt....the issue is the rust has expanded the bolt so tight that friction is holding it there...once you get a gap in there....just walk it forward and back until you can get it off....then you can get to the bolt....comes out way easier then....not having the water pump housing dry humping you....And its frozen in the timing cover...and at the threads.
