Stuck V-Band bolt, losing my mind

Hi,

I am once again in need of someone who knows what they are doing!
I am trying to upgrade to catless downpipes and fix my 30FF and it is going horribly.

I got the first downpipe off in two days/9 hours of work... I am not the best mechanic...
Now I am losing my mind over the 2nd DP.
I snapped off the top DP to exhaust bolt and stripped the other which I then removed with an angle grinder. Now only the V-Band clamp is holding onto the DP but it's now the 4th day. I've been trying to remove that damn bolt for hours and it won't budge. I tried WD40, brake cleaner and a lot of leverage but it just won't budge. I even snapped a wrench I used as a lever.

I just don't know anymore....

Side note, I don't have any power tools except for the borrowed angle grinder and barely have any space since I only have borrowed ramps :/. I blew all my money on my car.
