I've never much cared for WD40 as a penetrant. My preference is PB Blaster, available at most auto chain stores. It's nervous work using a lot of force in this situation so I'd try a purpose designed penetrant first. I also don't much like the idea of warming up the engine but others may have opinions on that.
