Swingarm bolt removal

Hi All,
I have scanned through all the threads on the above topic. I am seriously loosing the battle on removing the swingarm bolt (2010 Tenere660z). I can screw off the nut,I cannot even turn the bolt:-

1. I tried different mixtures to break the rust (transmission oil/Acetone)

2. Tried heat (just the bolt)

3. Tried freezing (just the bolt)

4. Hammered it on it while bike is on its side, at this stage I may have mushroomed the nut side of the bolt (screwed on the nut to be flush with the bolt end).


At this stage I am resigning to the situation of drilling it out. Any advise on this front. Appreciating any feedback on this as it is wrecking my head. As I planned a big trip for mid July


Thanks
Ger
