The other issue which adds to the pain is the bolt heads themselves are made from toughened marshmallows, and will round off particularly quickly.
Joebloggs, if you got them off with molegrips then you are one of the lucky ones, 'cos they wouldn't have budged my bolts whatsoever!
And heat "should" soften thread lock.
I only use a very tiny amount of lighter grade threadlock on mine now, and I bought a spare set of bolts to have on hand to replace any that decide to round off in the removal process.
I reckon they dipped the bolts in the strongest threadlock in the world with a sly grin on their face on the assembly line. :2fingers
