I've gotten them to break loose by using a screw driver and hammer and tapping on the end. If you can get it to move in any direction, it will be easier to work out with pliers. Also, if you can grab it with pliers, or vise grips, and work it back and forth, kind-of like walking it out, rather then pulling. Good luck!
