starter bolt removal advice?

Hey guys!
I know this sounds rather dumb but when trying to take the starter of my parts 944 it was super stuck! I tries pb blaster and my air gun but no luck. Any body have any tips for remove a bolt that has been attached for 10 plus year?

hit the bolt-head with a ball-peen hammer a few times.
put a boxwrench on the bolt head and tap the end of the wrench with a rubber mallet, that usually gets them to come loose.

If you can get some heat safely on whatever the bolt threads into, that always works much better than penetrating lubricants and brute force. Plumber's torch with a MAP gas cylinder, perhaps a carbon fibre cloth to shield adjacent areas (wires, plumbing) from heat.

Agree that tapping the bolt head can help break corrosion, but use a steel head hammer judiciously, not rubber. The point is to transmit shock.
