Heat. No type of liquid wrench or PB Blaster affects loctite. Lot of fastners use permeant grade loctite on them. Foot peg brackets, rotors, suspension parts. Usual, a impact will bring them out with out breaking them with not using heat. Heat is hard to work with around paint and chrome. The impact does usually damage fastner head and you will need a new bolt but not this nightmare. For some reason, using a socket and breaker bar leans on them unlike the true twisting of an impact. Not having proper tools creates nightmares trying to work on Harley's
Make you a sheet metal shield to protect paint or probably powder coat. Now with a MapGas torch or even better, acellitine, (forget propane) hit the bolt red.
Now, use PB Blaster. Soak ever few hours for a day.
More then likely, you will be able to take a small chisel and tap a little slot and the use a blunt tool and a small hammer to walk stud out.

Bolt hole is on the back of the swingarm (its a breakout). There's a wide to narrow end where the narrow side is threaded. Maybe about 1 inch in total.
