You'll need a big easy out, some PB Blaster and/or some freeze rust breaker spray. Alternatively, you could try to cut a slot in the head, but you'll need a LARGE screwdriver or pry bar.

Good luck & let us know how it turns out!

could be someone used thread locker permenent ! if so the torch should do it.
