stuck lockring

Ive never had a problem with this before. heres the story, got my new wheels threaded on my cog and lockring just fine, greased the threads well, didnt cross the threads (they went on nice and smooth), took it for a ride maybe 5 miles max, turns out i need to send the rear wheel back because of some confusion with my order, now the lockring is majorly stuck.

I have tried everything i found online (yes im turning it clockwise) including: lockring tool (obviously), penetrating oil, heat, chisel and hammer, tightening the cog to relieve stress on the lockring, and im out of ideas. its a problem because i need to send the wheel back sans cog and lockring. any help would be great...thanks
