Had the same problem with a set of rgv forks.
Took them to local dealer, £5 later they were out.

if your talking about the oil drain bolt on the damper rod . then compress the forks as far as they will go this locks the damper rods and they dont turn then an air gin with allon key on turns so fast they dont have time to spinn .
Never done any 50 forks but this is how i do lc ones

When you compres the fork it puts presher on the sping making it tight and the air gun spins the bolt so fast the damper doesnt have time to spinn. i have done this loads oof times and its never fakled to do that bolt . you need to compress the fork as far as you can its a 2 person job .
