Have you try to lightly pry up on the sensor using a flat head or some sort? I wouldn't if I'm not comfortable doing that though.

Try rotating the sensor 90* to break it free from the corrosion. Rotate back and pull out. I would not pry on it if you plan on keeping it as you can snap it off. When reinstalling slather the outside and inside of the bore with anti-seize or grease.

ABS light will not work and you'll have the light on.
