jam nut, one against the other, then you can turn it.

That, or heat it and use vice grips on the shank, away from threads.

Stud remover. I used it for removing manifold studs. Worked like a charm, no damage on thread.

Why remove it? I think I left it in place when I did my head gaskets. Or do you need to move it to a different head?

I take them off and never put it back. Makes it much easier to replace the power steering pump.
