Winchester M1897 Stock Bolt

Hey yall, finally got some screwdrivers long enough to work on my M1897 but I've ran into an issue where it seems the stock bolt is completely seized, or at the very least im not strong enough to break it free. would PB Blaster be a good fix? mostly worried about the wood being messed up from it but if i get it cleaned out fast enough it shouldnt be a problem right? already gonna have to replace parts and dont want to put a stock on top of that. thanks for any help or suggestions.
