Skip the WD-40, you need a penetrating lube.
The best stuff you can get is usually Kroil, but it ain't WD-40 cheap.
The next best thing is to make your own fluid. 50% ATF, 50% acetone, and it works better than most penetrating fluids. Surely we all have that in our garages already. Mix it up in an old Windex squirt bottle or the like with the option of a stream or mist, and give it a squirt of that mixture, shake the container before use to make sure it's mixed. Wait a half hour, squirt it again, wait 30, then do it again right before you try and bust it loose.
