I tried at first with just a breaker bar n it seemed impossible. Then i hit it really heavy with the PB Blaster and let it sit for 5-10 mins. After that, it was much easier.

I'm not sure you need a few cans, but it definitely works. I would say soak it pretty good a couple times, within 30 minutes of each other, and let it sit for several hours, if not overnight. Than reapply several minutes before attempting to unbolt them again. If that doesn't work, than the torch might be your last bet.

I was just reading about that project, and although the idea is fantastic, it is for light jobs. I wouldn't count on it removing any nut/bolt from your car.

Yes the GatorGrip is weak. I killed one at work the other day taking off a skid plate...
