you are not alone Sorry if this is a silly question , but for best grip have you tried a small stilson wrench on the threaded end ? Worked for me , as per here : https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ght=pinch+bolt
Also , the hammering required to remove the shank half of the bolt is indeed severe ; 4 lb hammer is a minimum !
