I take it there isn't enough room there to even wind it out with a spanner?

[jackcramerr]

I can use a spanner. I won't be able to break the thread lock. And even if I do, there isn't room to pull the bolt out.

As per your other thread then i would stick a piece of wood on your jack and put it under the sump, lift a little bit of weight off the mount and then slacken it off or remove and jack the engine up until you have enough clearance.

The only other thing that is my concern is that for an inch and half of clearnacne that I need... is it OK to just do one mount or do I have to mess with others as well? I think there are three mounts in total. A compressor is on driver side and there is a mount on top near by. the other is near battery passage side. and the third is down below somewhere on cross member.
