he said he might be able to drill a small hole all the way through the center
Start with that and then use bigger and bigger drill bits. Then, you can cut the bolt or just smash the sidewalls of the bolt, collapsing it into the middle. (I think I gave more details in an earlier post.)
That's your only realistic option at this point. Try for the bolt's center as much as you can. Drill it through and then just use bigger bits. At some point, it may actually just pull out, but that's what I'd try next - under good lighting.
Use penetrating/cutting oil if you've got it.
wouldnt you think a hole would let the whole thing get hotter? then the hammering it might break it loose before drilling and drilling again
If the hole was large enough, yes. A small 1/8" hole ain't gonna let much heat into it, nor add that much surface area.
