HELP!!!

So got my calipers powder coated by a local shop(will start another thread about them later) and today while re assembling the calipers, I felt a grind when replacing the bolts that hold the caliper halfs together. So I instantly reversed the ratchet to pull the bolt out to see what was going on, and it locked the bolt. Now it won't turn any way I try to turn it. I checked the other calipers(the unassembeld ones) and found that there is dust trapped where the bolt threads into. My question is how do I loosen the bolt that is seized, also is there a way I can clean the threads for the calipers myself?
