I'd spray the crap out of it with penetrating oil and let it sit for a bit. If that doesn't work... heat.

Could be some carbon on threads, most common if threads are a bit longer than stock. Have him try screwing it back in, start engine and drive about 10 miles or so. Then try to remove it immediatly after shutting the engine down.
