keep on turning till it comes out. if your really scared, loosen it up till its tight, then tighten it back down. keep on doing this till it comes out.

the spark plug is probably not stripped but with all the carbon deposit on the spark plug it's making it hard for it to come out. and plus the person before you probably torqued the spark plug in to tight. (it's a aluminum head, it should only be a snug fit not torqued to hell).
