Pinto Camshaft Pulley Bolt Removal?

I was planning to leave the cam in place, but since I'm going to give the head a thorough clean I figured I'd remove it. But, I can't get the pulley bolt undone.
Head is off the block, stripped of everything except the cam. Any tips on undoing the bolt without the cam turning?

Can you put a screwdriver/metal bar through the cam pulley from the front. It should wedge on the head and stop the cam turning.
