Default Compensator arm bolt seized! HELP!!

So in order to change the RTA bushing, the compensator arm has to be dropped so there's clearance for the bushing extractor tool to fit.. but I ran into a major problem.

The bolt that goes into the frame where you do the adjustment has seized to ****. It's completely seized onto the metal bushing sleeve so now it's spinning freely.

I only managed to back the bolt out three full turns and it just stops and spins. What do I do now, I tried to fit a cutting wheel in there to cut the bolt but it's too tight of a space for the cutting wheel to reach the bolt.

Is it safe to drive with the toe adjustment bolt to be backed out three turns?

PLEASE HELP!
