I wouldn’t suggest removing the bolt entirely. It only needs to be loosened.

And put a dustcap on the crank, so the loose bolt doesn't fall out and get lost.

I had this happen on a mountain bike. I used Loctite thread repair kit to secure the pulled. Let it sit for a day the. Was able to pull off the crank arm.
