If I had a stuck spark plug I would try
a) Apply release fluid and leave for a few hours
b) I dont know it I would try heating the plug as it may damage the head
gasket. But another trick I have found works as well as using the blow
lamp for areas sensitive to heat is to use a can of freeze spray as used
by plumbers to stop the flow of water in a pipe. Freezing the plug will
cause it to contract and removal may be possible.
c) Last resort is to use GBH. Use a long bar and socket and hope the
threads are not damaged too much. Use plenty of release oil.
Use a thread restorer.
