I've been stupid and added loctite Blue on this crank bolt. I tried unscrewing but the bolt isn't going anywhere and is starting to deform on the inside. Any idea on how to get this loose? ðŸ˜

High power impact driver with a hex bit – 8mm iirc.
If you can’t risk using more force due to risking rounding off the bolt, you could carefully apply some heat. This should loosen the thread locker a bit. Make sure to use it very localized and assess the crank afterwards in terms which parts you need new after this.
If that’s a 12 point you could buy a 12 point socket for double the contact area
