Lifter removal
Did the spider break when the engine was running? If the lifter was able to rotate when the engine was in operation it is almost certain that the camshaft and lifter are ruined at their interface which may be why the lifter can't come out.
In this case the camshaft will have to come out. As for the lifters' ability to come out the bottom of their bores, some definitely can, but I'm not sure if all of them can. The ones closest to the main bearing webs might not have enough clearance.
