Last one I had like that resisted every effort, up to and including oxy acetylene torch. I think I may have burnt it out eventually, then a year later it did the exact same thing despite copper slip being used. That time I used a bit too much welly on the spanner and the some of the ally case snapped off when it turned :'( good thing I had spare cases. These days I would go streight to drilling it out, if I cannot get a standard length drilling in there I bore out a length of steel bar in the lathe, pop the drilling in the bored out hole, secure it by centre dotting around the drillbit in place of a chuck. Then carefully drill out. Start small, increase diameter of drill once a pilot hole is established. This gives a bit more leeway for correcting if your hole goes a bit off centre down the length of the hole you bore.
