I've got a sealed bolt problem

If you've got nothing left to grip, you could drill a hole down the centre of the bolt and use a screw extractor to get it out.
You can buy them in various sizes depending on the size of the bolt, from tool suppliers or decent motor accessories shops.
Other than that it's drill it down the centre and re tap it. Problem with that is knowing the thread size to get a tap, not too bad if you can get the other side off.
Or you could just drill the head off to release the arm and it may screw out once the pressure is off.

) an old long allen key to it and go from there take everything off the other side and tap the axle through a bit , loosen the arm and push against the BB/spacers ( hoping you have enough spline to do so ) this should leave the bolt head proud of the arm and you could either file 2 flats on it and use a spanner/adjustable or some decent mole grips
ill assume you have loosened the pinch bolt already and given it a good soaking of wd40/gt85
its worth removing the pedal , you will no doubt hit your hand on it once the bolt decides to let go and pull towards you instead of push away , saves punching the floor
