Bolt is stuck in the manifold not in the head. I just had the same thing on a 72 K10. I had to to heat the manifold around the bolt and pry and wiggle the manifold off far enough to get behind the manifold And cut the bolt off with a hacksaw. Then I heated the manifold and punched bolt out with a punch. The piece of bolt in the head screwed out with vice grips.
