This does not seem to work on El Capitan.

@victorhguillen thanks that worked!

None of the solutions are working for me on Mac Sierra. The Shift + Option + Click is not showing the "Debug" option. Any other ideas?

$ sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.blued.plist    
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.blued.plist: Operation not permitted while System Integrity Protection is engaged

Finally, the following worked for me:

- Remove all connected USB and other devices
- $ sudo rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
- $ rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.*
- Shut down
- Wait for 1 minute
- Start
