I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
wouldnt put too much heat near a caliper full of brake fluid! bit of WD, leave for 10 mins then some vice grips as said above. mite shear all the same sounds as if its tight.
could also try and tighten it slightly first then loosen it

I had the same problem with one on a 106, rounded off and mole grips just mashed it up more ended up buying an Irwin rounded bolt removal set.
iirc was about Ł20 for the set but did the trick!

The next thing i would do now is put the bleed nipple in a vice and rock the caliper back and forth its going to do one of 2 fings it will come out or it will brake but your at that stage were theres no going back . if it brakses you will have to drillit out and thats best off the car .......GOOD LOOK......
