Can you get a flex handle on it? I have... ahem... used a hydraulic jack on flex handles to loosen bolts. I'm not sure if you can get in there... but if you can... it might be worth a shot. You have to preload the socket and keep it on the bolt head! (Make sure all your tools are warrantied!
)
Also... Try PB Blaster... spray it around the bolt... its good stuff.
