In lieu of heat, you can try shocking them with a hammer hit.  I end up drilling a hole into the stubborn ones and using an easy out for the final removal.

I heated the plugs red hot with a torch and removed them immediately with no problem.

I use a impact driver (the kind you hit with a hammer, not an air impact). Usually come lose after a couple of wacks. Smooooth

Heat the plug and quench.  You can almost take them out with your fingers.
