If heat doesn't help then I would go with removing the head of the bolt however you can, drill it, grind it, cutting torch, etc., a "nut splitter" will only work on a nut, it won't do anything on removing a bolt head but deform it.

Okay, I appreciate the advice.

I was trying to heat the bolt itself and not so much the hole. I’ll try that again tomorrow. But should I even bother since I am struggling to get a tool on the bolt head?

I couldn’t tell if there was a nut on there or not, it’s so mangled lol.

Any preference when it comes to drilling, grinding, or cutting torch?
