Thats one of your problems...ditch the rubber mallet. Use a real friggin hammer. If that doesnt work use a small handled sledge. Just make sure your hitting the bolt. Don't be afraid of the ball joint suffering damage, new ones are $20.
and haha, I just re-read your post, and it sounds like you have as much patience as me.
And you could also try actually hitting the ball joint from below and above. That bolt your trying to get out sits in a groove on the ball joint. So it might be something worth trying.
