I would try the floor technique with a dead blow hammer on carpet or wood. It is likely that the back of the spring is digging into the underside of the BAS possibly creating a "lockwasher" type situation.
When you used the floor technique, did you actually stand on either the allen wrench or the bolt handle (Depending on which way you had the bolt laying on the floor)?
