I am pretty sure I will have to drill and tap it. SInce this all got started by simply changing an intake I do not have much faith in myself doing this right......
Number one; How much of the bolt is exposed? Do you have enough, to grab it with a pair of vice-grips? If so, take a good penitrating oil, spray it and let it soak in for about 24 hours. If you have access, to propane crack the bottle open right on the bolt. This should freeze the bolt, allowing it to shrink it enough to crack it loose. It's kind of like, taking a torch to a nut that's froze up on a bolt. When you apply the heat to the nut it expands, therefore allowing you to break it loose and remove it. I wouldn't advise taking a torch to the block, right where the bolt is, because the intake is made out of aluminum and if it gets to hot, you might just as well buy a new one. When aluminum gets to hot, it either warps or melts. Another thing, is this intake a stock intake? If the propane doesn't work, you could check Ebay or craigslist for another lower intake sometimes you luck-out. Good luck, Mike.
