It will seat properly if you have someone below making sure it's 100% on there. From up top, the guys that were in charge of the breaker bar thought it was on there fully and it was way off from down below and that's where I came in as physically put the socket fully on the bolt. Get another guy and see if you can't do that. You don't really have much else to lose at this point

1/2 inch extensions, 1/2 inch swivel and three foot breaker bar will get it done. If you can get the socket seated give it a swift push forward and that bolt will snap making everything smooth sailing from there on. If the top of the head is rounded or stripped, get yourself some Irwin nut/bolt extractors.

I would soak it in pb blaster and do all of the above before I considered pulling the subframe. Make sure you have a buddy hold the socket on the bolt if it keeps slipping.
