Consensus is definitely important, from the bottom is a for sure thing. However, even if you lack appropriate big sized fender washers there's no end to things you could use between your headset and that stem bolt to apply pressure upwards and possibly free that thing without removing all that stuff that you've mentioned you'd rather not. It can't hurt. I'm all for doing things the right way, and in the end it may come down to advanced chemistry to solve the problem, but I just wanted to come to the defense of my lazy method as it may save you some time you could be spending riding your newly 'stached bicycle. Not to sound defensive or nuthin, it actually sounds fun to drill it out. -Kai
