Good post. I've never heard of the engraving tool trick.
By "buzz it out", do you mean the vibration helps the bolt to turn
easier?

It takes the place of a punch. Orient the engraver so
that it pushes the perimeter, or whatever is available in a
counterclockwise direction. This will only work if the bolt is
not completely seized but just inaccessible.
Now ya got me thinking to use the engraver for the pilot starter
...reduce the wobble/walk of a small bit.. an avoid a punch (if
possible)
Then use the drill bits.
