The far side of the clamp is threaded, so you would either need to drill out the thread, or use a smaller diameter bolt (the later is not a sensible option). The bolt is a tougher than normal one, but with a smaller than normal head as I recall.
When doing the top bearings, I failed miserably to undo it, so I used option B and took out strut complete with the hub, it is not that difficult to do it that way. Just a matter of disconnecting the caliper, cables at the inner wing and the driveshaft. I had tried lots of heat, a drill would not even mark the bolt head.
