Something wrong there Alez, far too much thread showing, it may have been really badly cross threaded and that's why it was so locked.Should have tried heat at the same time as the grips, most things will move that way.
si no te sientes seguro de resolverlo , dejalo , agrega un poco de sellajuntas y tal vez no pierda , algun dia lo quitaras con la destreza y herramientas adecuadasif you don't feel confident in resolving it, leave it alone, add a little sealant and it may not leak, one day you will remove it with the right tools and skill.
If there is enough sticking out, get a slightly bigger nut and get it welded on with plenty of weld in the nut.The heat from the welding will be far more than you put on it before and more direct, this normally breaks the bond between the bolt and the case.Never failed for me
It was at this stage with my cylinder head that I wimped out and took it to the local engine (car) shop, I tried the hot cold, treatment, the violence, the penetrting oil but when I ended up with a stud broken off flush I knew it was time for me to quit, the cost of taking it to someone else was peanuts, the cost if I messed up would have been far greater.CheersDennis
