With damage dealing effects the creature remains on the battlefield until the games goes through atleast one round of State based actions. These are only performed when a player would gain priority so at that point the lightning bolt has finished resolving and left the stack and gone to which ever game zone it would end up in.
This is different to spells like murder where the target creature is destroyed during the spell/ability's resolution so the static ability ceases before the card would leave the stack.
