Gave up on the top starter bolt after trying all day: I'm aching & sore now. 200 1986

I'm sore.
I tried using the 3/4" (19mm) wrench from the top (after clearing away some wires, dip sticks, etc.). I had the wrench on the bolt and used a breaker bar over the closed end wrench...but the wrench started slipping as I applied major torque.
I can't believe I haven't gotten this thing off. It's a major pain.
I might try jacking down the tranny crossmember tomorrow.....I may have already rounded off the edges of the top starter bolt though...I dunno.
I'd rather replace the blower motor anyday compared to this.
