Is it removal of the starter or slave cyl?
There are special wrenches which may fit onto a partially damaged bolt.
Some nuts are zinc plated and brass when scraped.
Loosening nuts or bolts maybe should be done when these are well heated.
Another tip: Initially try to FASTEN the nut or bolt first. This may get the
bolt or nut to turn a very small part and afterwards when it is moving
loosen it by unscrewing it. This helps!
Your mail is somewhat confusing...
Cheers,
Hans
