Well, yes if you break it off.  Having rust on it, makes it hard to turn it
out sometimes.  So, be careful not to force it too much, rather go back and
forth mor often and use wd40 to get it out.  And put back a stainless or a
new bolt after you have cleaned the surface and the ground strap end.
You don't want to break it, because it would need to be drilled out then,
and that's not something you would like to do.
