your best bet is going to be heat, but there is a meathod that i use, you dont need heat for but you probably already know this, when you put the breaker bar on the bolt put a lot of force on the bar by pushing it down as far as it will go then with your freehand smack the bar down really hard, maybe even use a hammer, the snapping motion rather than just a constant pressure on it tends to snap rust in the threads.

just a suggestion
