If you get them moving, back out all the way. Clean the threads with a wire brush and re-assemble with grease.

Ive never seen these bolts so stuck on anything I ve owned, and its not all rust, I can always budge them

We put the car on a lift, heated the adjuster block, (not the bolt) backed off the adjustment bolt, let cool, then sprayed it with penetrating oil and re-adjusted the ride height. It took about 5 minutes. Be sure to back off the adjustment first.
