Thanks for the help so far.

MNBoxster: I tried a 18" breaker bar tonight with no movement. I do plan on replacing the bolts like the Porsche manual says. Two bucks is cheap for a Porsche part. On a side note... I just bought a speed sensor from Porsche of Tysons here in Virginia and it was $40 more than the one I bought from them last year- they said it was a Porsche parts price increase. From $124 to $164. Note to self: should have gone to Sunset Imports. The speed sensor removal is a whole 'nother story.

John V: PB Blaster hasn't helped yet but there is still hope. I have considered heat but am holding off after pondering what could be melted, destroyed, etc.

ToolPants: I agree- not good at all. The thought (cost) of worst case senario is frightening. The bolt is backed out a 1/4" not a 1/4 turn. I haven't tried too hard yet but I can't tighten it back up.
