Put some anti-seize on it to avoid the same problem in the future.

If it had loctite on it a heat gun would have helped also. With a good heat gun you can localize the heat pretty well. Heat almost always works for me. If it has red Loctite, heat is the only way.

Impact either the air type or the manual that you hit with a hammer
