The bolt head is like a square not shaped normally
you loosen the nut, not the bolt
the nut is 10mm you need a small socket

This close up photo shows why socket doesn't work. there is no space for socket to slide on. The nut is pressed right onto terminal/bracket
Is the bolt head square or hex (on the right end)? If the nut is fixed to the left side, the only way to get it out is to turn the head, or threads. Besides cutting it off, that is.
Or remove the nut and disconnect everything there. Then fix the actual clamp so you can get at it.

Removing the positive cable works too, you just have to be careful. But the vehicle should be dead with just the primary ground disconnected.
When you're removing the ground wire, it doesn't matter if you touch anything else metal with your tool/socket.
When you're removing the positive wire, if you touch any other metal, you might create a short and bad things tend to happen.

I'm a little late on this but I would have told you to just bend the bracket out a bit. You still may want to do that.
