Could a tool like this:

be used on the offending flywheel bolt? I have found this tool to be
quite handy. (i.e. front brake splash guard screws)

I know one doesn't have to pound the crap out of this tool to use it,
but I have no idea if (effectively) banging on the end of the crank is
a bad idea.
