Also, don't forget you have to get the starter back on, sometimes this can be harder than getting it off because you need to get hands in there as well to start the bolt, and the starter is heavy. I did cut a new access port some years ago but it still is difficult to get to the starter motor. I've been told you sometimes can loosen a nut or bolt head using a stout flat head screwdriver and a hammer to persuade it to turn counter clockwise. Sounds like a last resort to me. Good luck.
