Yep, on a steel swingarm that would obviously do the trick. unfortunately it wouldn't have worked on my Ali arm.
I'd be tempted to then weld a nut on top of the rest of the screw to see if it will then unscrew.
I've successfully used the technique of welding a nut to the top of a broken or butchered head screw or bolt so many times as the heat of course helps break the corrosion bond too.
You weld it through the hole in the nut though, don't try welding the underside.
Nasher.
