The Bottom bolt on the UC front calipers has seized in, have tried WD40, CRC. and Thread unlocker.
Iam afraid that if I keep trying I will strip out the Allen Key.
What is the best method on undoing this bolt???

Id probably get a new allen key, the biggest you can get (in terms of leverage) and make sure its a snug fit. I've gotted these out before by hitting the allen key to jerk it loose. Dont be too agressive just a few firm hits.
the allen key bolt should be extremely hard to strip the head, unless you've been using an incorrect sized allen key. I've twisted an alley key trying to undo the bolt before, never damaged the bolt itself though

You need a hex drive that attatches to a socket so you can put some real leverage on it
