Stuck bolt

Unfortunately, I think the damage is done. From what I've experienced, if the bolt starts coming out and then gets jammed up. Part of the aluminum threads have stripped and are attached to the bolt. As the bolt is coming out, those stripped threads are now binding against good threads. I hope I'm wrong

That's what I thought until I put a magnet on it and it stuck. They both look the same. I was wondering if low and slow torque or high impact would lessen the chances of it breaking.

Ah yes, that's aluminum. I forgot about that. Aluminum and steel don't like each other. There is bad chemistry between them.
