Lubricant wont help, if the head of the bolt is tight against the case saver. Somehow the lube needs to seep behind the head, and make it to the threads. It wont hurt to try.
Try using a 6 point socket, instead of a 12 point.

If you still got it together enough to ride it may help to get the engine hot.

Use a torch, heat around the screw, but not the screw, spray some wd-40 on there and take it out.

Outracings advice is a little scary.

1. A torch can damage your aluminum case.
2. WD40 is VERY flammable.
