As Patcon says, a penetrating oil is best.  WD40 is a light oil for displacing water (WD = Water Displacement).  A penetrating oil has a penetrating fluid that weeps into the threads and carries the oil with it. A 50:50 mix of ATF and Acetone is a good home-brew.   I like Liquid wrench over PB blaster.

 

If you have a high current/wattage soldering iron you can place it on the head of the bolt and heat it up for 10min then cool with the penetrating oil to break the crusty corrosion.
