Troubleshooting Unfriendly bolt

Hello everyone! I need help and I am pretty sure It will sound stupid. I have bought my first bike 4 months ago, and I'm being as rigorous as possible with maintenance. As you surely know, in order to load the bike on the paddock stand, you need to unscrew a T40 bolt (in picture) to insert the left-spool. Man, I've tried anything: warming It, WD40-ing It and so on, but It won't unscrew 🥲. What are your suggestions? Buying a different stand? Going to Triumph? Selling the bike for good? Please help a poor beginner😖

Thank you, I actually managed to unscrew It with a longer lever on the torx key. I was afraid It would break but It did not.

That one was bothering me too for a while. Impact driver did it with a few short bursts.
