How do you remove rusted bolts without stripping them out (if possible)?

 

There are several methods that can be used, and they can be used in sequence if necessary. I list them in order of complexity (simple to complex):

Soak the bolt with penetrating oil for 48 hours.

Apply a short tightening (yes, tightening) impulse torque such as provided by an impact driver

Apply an impulse torque in the loosening direction, such as provided by an impact driver.

Apply a slowly increasing torque in the loosening direction, over a period of 48 hours.

Heat the joint with a torch.

If possible, use electrolysis.
