Now you have the bolt out have a good close look at the thread in the body, If it is rough or damaged in any way do not try to put another bolt in there until you have cleaned the thread with a sharp tap.

The aluminium body is cast and once the thread seizes like yours the little pieces of aluminium will jam the bolt even tighter and further force will tear most of the thread out of the body.
