This one comes from careless people getting anti-seize on the base of the plug (at the top of the threads), and even on the electrodes. If you put the anti-seize where it belongs, i.e., only on the threads, you'll never have a problem. I've been using copper anti-seize on plugs for decades.

I would just use a thread chaser first, the threads are quite long on Harley plugs, you would be amazed at what they can repair good enough to work again.
You also need to be talking to your dealer as to why they didn't use anti sieze when they changed your plugs earlier, no matter what people here are saying here about anti sieze, you are suppose to always use it when screwing steel into aluminum, it's been that way for, at least 40 years, my plugs come out like they where screwed into soft butter at plug changes and it has been that way since the first L88 corvette I owned in the 70's!!!!!!
Steel and aluminum do not get along together that's why they dreamed up anti siezr!!
