Spark Plug Question

If this has been asked before, I'm sorry for repeating. Last night I tried to remove cylinder #8 spark plug as this is the cylinder that is causing all my flashing CEL and constant CEL according to the auto scanner. I have already replaced the COP and it kept doing it, so it was recommended to replace the plug as it's possible it was cracked/broke. I was able to free it and got it loose, however I can't not seem to get it to come out. I have tried just about everything in my repertoire to get this out. It just don't want to come out. I'm guessing I'm not using the proper technique and it could be the spark plug socket rubber I'm using is worn out, has ANYONE else ran into this issue? I'm guessing that I have a broken plug and will need to also use the lisle tool but before I got that far I need to get the stupid plug out. I'm going to be replacing all of the spark plugs and COP's soon(next few weeks), but got to get this one done first. Thoughts?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I believe I may have a bunch of stripped out plug holes. Now the real fun begins I guess. I knew better than to try this on my own.

It sounds like the plug broke and you need the extraction tool in my signature.
