OTOH, keep in mind that chainring bolts are pretty damn cheap, and not worth sacrificing tools for. If it persists in it's stubbornness, use a 5/16" drill to drill it through and both halves will come out their respective sides. Then pay the $2.00 and buy a new bolt.
Good tip. 5/16 drill gets them out real quick.
