Try hammering on a smaller socket. If not, drill it out, then vice grips to turn the thread.

was way to stiff.. looks like theyd used locktight or something

i eventually drilled half of it, go a flat head bit in a socket and loosend it enough to cut the head off.. now all i have is the rest of the bolt stuck in the chair oops

oh well i have my frames off
