How to get off plug #6?

I got edlebrock shorties....the only thing I can get on there is a custom cut/filed down wrench...but its on there soo goddamn right I cant loosen it up for the life of me. Ive sprayed WD40 and seafoam on there, but nothing. Anytricks to get this thing off?
Its pointless to do plugs/wires and leave one bad plug in there....

That, to me, is one of the toughest. I did it from the bottom, with a long extension and a swivel. Make sure it's totally square on the head or you WILL break it off. Spray with PB blaster and let it sit for a few hours before you you try turning it.

put the plug socket on from the top. turn the plug socket with a 3/4" stubby wrench. if this doesn't work you shouldn't have tightened the plug so much in the first place. if you can't do it the way i described, take the starter down and go at it from underneath.

This is the first time Ive done plugs on this car, so I didnt tighten it that much

As for putting the socket on there....i cant with these headers...they make a wall RIGHT next to the end of the plug, and the plug socket is just way too big to get on there. Man this sucks, I guess ill jes try hacking at it with the lil wrench.
