Caliper Bolt seized - ideas? 850

I'm currently changing the rear brakes on my 93 850 and I started on the passenger side and got as far as the bottom Caliper bolt - it won't move at all. I tried two types of anti-seize lubricants and even waited an hour - still nothing. I last tried a longer rachet handle and even used a rubber malet to aid and still nothing. Any suggestions other than heat? I don't want to have to drill this bolt out, but I'm starting to round the edges.
