Everyone...
Thanks to alll the great advice, I solved this problem without spending a penny, and in about 10 minutes!
I let some PB Blaster soak in overnight; then used a bottle jack as suggested, to apply upward pressure on the spring. Sure enough, I was able to turn the adjustment bolt BY HAND. I ran it out to where I wanted it; lowered the suspension back down, put the tire back on... and now, all four corners are lowered. Though, the car still looks raised because it hasn't had the chance to settle.
Thanks again!

Now that you have it where you want it, buy a new bolt and replace it when you can. You will want to adjust it again and the new bolt will make the job easy.
