If you hit the eccentric adjuster bolt dead center and dead flat with an air hammer, you have a very good chance of freeing them up. Soak with PB blaster for 10 minutes first. Put a nut on the threads first, perfectly flush, as to not mushroom them.
85% of the time I can free them up.
#13 (caster adjuster) I can only free up 25-40% of the time.
I would also correct your front toe to a trace positive number (+.05 per side) or you will get inside tire wear.

I heard kroil oil is better than PB blaster?
Is the front toe too much out?

Good stuff, learn something new every day.

as Billman stated you can often get the bolts freed up, my Honda dealer told me that mine were seized so they didn't get my camber right. I took it to another shop and asked them to spend time trying to free up the bolts and sure enough they did. I had them take out the bolts and lube them up, and then we resintalled the bolts, then the alignment was done right.
An air gun and a little bit of heat can help.
