If you have a cheap set (i.e. the following plan will most likely ruin the socket) of sockets find one that almost fits over the stud. Pound it on with a hammer and then see if it will budge with a rachet. For penitrating oil "PB Blaster" the the best, WD-40 is about useless. Spray it then pound, the pounding can help sometimes.

P.S. 12 point sockets "bite" a little better.
