I am curious, is it best to heat the bolt head itself or around the
bolt? Will Heating the bolt heat make it more prone to snapping off?

It seems heating a bolt would make it expand, making it tighter?

By the way on all the other bolts I removed there was no rust.

No big loss if you change the temper of the bolt or distort it.
Same can't be said for whatever assembly it is froze into.
