The other thing you can do to loosen any bolt is to heat the surrounding metalwork before you try and remove it - a blowtorch is often the easiest way, but be careful not to melt anything or set anything on fire. Also be careful that you don't touch stuff you've heated up - sounds obvious but it's easily done and can be very painful!
Once you've got it free, run a tap down the threaded hole to clean the threads up (be careful not to cut new threads). A 10mm head generally means an M6 thread.
Post a pic if you're still not sure and someone can advise further…

this tool is similar to a tap and dye set which once you have made a pilot hole winds it self in with a left hand thread and tightens up and most off the time if patient enough will remove the offending stump? :dontknow:
