my Ford 450 caliper bolts did not want to break free. After I put a pipe on the breaker bar they came loosr but turned out very stiff. It looks to me that they had loctite on the threads to keep them from vibrating out. I don't have a 450 manual so I'm talking from experience from using loctite for many years If the caliper bolt is really stripped, apply some rust freeing lubricant to the bolt and let it soak in for a day or so. Reapply the rust freeing lubricant frequently. Then if there is enough surface exposed you might try using a small pipe wrench to turn the bolt. If that fails it my require a knowlegable mechanic and an acetelyne torch to apply heat which will allow the metal to expand while using a pipe wrench.
