Since you have a big flange on that bolt head you can weld a socket onto the bolt very solidly and then try again with a longer pipe extension.
Sometimes these two bolt bolts freeze solid in the threads far up in the frame work.
That's why it is important to reach for the long extension early one before the head have started to go out of round from feeble attempts with short tools.
It would take a long time heating before the heat reaches that far up to get to the threads.
I have had times when I need to place a tall jack stand between the wrench/socket and car and lift it up, putting pressure on the socket so it won't slip of when I apply everything I got.
