I tried your method using a grade 8 fine thread bolt and to my surprise it worked.

There was no hammering, prying or cheater bar needed. A simple 3/4" wrench is all it took!!!

However I did oil the threads on the bolt.

My only regret was not knowing this trick before I mushroomed my pickle fork.

It's known as good old American Ingenuity...... Glad you got it off.
