I had this with the rear caliper bolts on my 2002 Boxster S

The bolt did come out eventually (with a lot of force) but the bolt was useless afterwards - you could see what corrosion had done to the end that was exposed to the elements for 10 years. Then, winding that through the hub carrier did quite a bit of damage to the threads.

However, I managed to get new bolts back in without too much fuss (basically cutting a new thread to a certain extent) and they torqued up well.

Definitely get new bolts.
