After looking at the plug I think maybe you had the wrong sized socket. I'm sure these old engines didn't use metric sizes. Metric and US sizes can be close but never the same. Hope you have better luck on the remaining 5

Look up "hotrodreference.com" General information side bar has the solution to stud/bolt removal. May be of some use to somebody. Blind in one eye DEAF in one ear. Trying to give help. Not too worried about politically correctness. Not trying to insult fellow members on this excellent site.

If you're having trouble gripping it, get a cheap 12point 19mm socket and smash it on with a hammer. Extract plug and either scrap the whole works or drive the plug out and keep the socket.
Another idea, bust all the porcelain off and weld a larger nut on top of the plug base. The heat will help and the electric current may help bust up the rust on the atomic level.
