it's probably stripped, take it off and re-tap it again and put a new one in.

If you can get something under the head of the bolt, Say a Screwdriver, you can try to apply upward pressure while loosing the bolt.
Good Luck.

you done need to completely remove the bolts for the cover to come off. as long as you can pull them upwards a bit the cover will come off
