Trying to remove the hardtop for the first time and I have all the bolts off except this one on the drivers side. I can’t even break it free with an impact.... any ideas? Thanks!

Assuming you've already tried penetrating oil on the threads and hitting it with a hammer, you may have to drill/cut the head off.
 
Penetrating oil and a breaker bar. Be careful not to strip that torx head then it really sucks
 
Took a lot of penetrating oil, a few whacks with a hammer, patience, some cursing and an impact
