If it really won’t move what I have done successfully is to put a mini thin grind disc on a dremel and cut a groove 360 deg between the face of the nut /bolt and the part that’s held on, this realeases the tension and stress on the threads as there is no more compression to part it’s holding on , a spanner will then turn the nut. I did this on the other side with the points cam bolt which was way over torqued, and I was scared that the long bolt into the crank would snap, 2 mins with dremel and then was almost hand loose
This may work for you , just don’t cut into the shaft of the bolt

other side need to replace starter clutch, sticking now and again, starter just spins, ok at moment, but will need to be done

The mini discs supplied with the dremel 3000 cut a perfect gap of about 1mm between the bolt and face , sacrificing the bolt , but pennies , I also had an engine sprocket nut which was in place for 30 yrs and a 3ft tourque bar wouldn’t shift , even with a little local heat , had to watch oilseal, just cut across the flats at a tangent to the shaft , released the tension on the nut as it pinged open, came off by hand
Dremel was great bit of kit , so accurate for cutting
