Spray PB blaster around the threaded portion in the block. Let soak. Drive or let idle for 5 mins. With engine warm(Not hot) see if they will break loose. If not try again. Could just take some effort with penetrant and heat. Be careful not to strip the threads or break a plug.

And make sure to use some anti-seize on the new plugs so you don't have the same problem next time.

At least the I6 head is probably easier to take off in the event of a broken plug that won't come out after you've busted 10 sockets and stripped the EZOut head...
