If that doesn't work you could always go for a bitabrie.( always disliked stilton)

Actually it will be interesting to see how you get on I've always struggled with mine.

TAP TAP TAP with a 4 ounce pin hammer about 200 times to crack the rust.
Many LIGHT blows .... no heavy hammers.

Once you get it out, make sure of clearances and see if you can get a hex nut welded good-oh onto the plugtop.

Before you put it back, wrap two or three full turns of plumber's PTFE tape around the threads, and don't make it too tight - it isn't structural - it is only filling a hole.
