As a former HD maintenance tech, before you drop your oil always run the bike hot, then park and loosen those bolts.
Only turn them when they're hot and you'll never have a problem breaking them loose.
Also, never use a center punch or grooving, slotting, hammer, or whatever.
Just use a 15/64 drill bit to take the head off clean and then you can roll the left over shank out with your fingers.
The bolt is obviously already center punched, and this method takes only seconds. Saves the chrome on a lot of primary covers this way.
