Yeah, the threads that are stuck cannot be loosened with PB blaster or any other spray. You may try heating up the bolt with a propane torch then dousing it with water after it gets red hot. Sometimes that will break it loose. If you do get it to start turning out, take it slow and only do a turn at a time. Turn it out, go back in, turn it out, go back in , etc. After you get it broken loose, then you may try to hit it with PB blaster, then another dose of propane torch heat to try to suck the blaster in and around the threads.
