Unlucky, mate. I had similar problems with some R1 forks and it took several days of soaking with penetrating fluid to do the job. That was with the forks off the bike and held horizontal so that the fluid could be pooled directly onto the screw.
The threads on these parts are fine so you can't really get heavy with impact tools or the like.
You could try heat/cold, and also consider the freeze-type penetrating sprays.
Good luck.
