I just removed that column tightening bolt on a 36 truck column drop by drilling a series of small holes in line on the head of the bolt to form a slot. Then using a hand held impact driver with a slotted bit, I got that bolt out. This method has worked many times for me, including ones on some very weathered drops that had been exposed to the elements for years. A little heat in the right area can also help.
