Never thought I'd be using a tube of antiseize per year, but with all of the Fe into Al on this car, almost every bolt gets antiseize if it doesn't get loktite.

First, be gentle. Heat! The bolt is steel, both the housing and the head are aluminum. They will expand faster and more than the bolt. If you can get a small torch (mapp gas) in there you should be able to get it loose. Good luck.
