Stuck Freewheel

OK guys this is the toughest things i have ever encountered.

Regina oro 5 speed freewheel, had been there maybe for zillions of years, campagnolo hub. Got this in a trade.

Applied some heat and nothing. the prongs were in bad shape so the tools were turning at some point that the last time i tried a corner of the prongs things came out.

Penetrating oil was applied also.

Was able to take the 1st two cogs out. Tried to use a vicegrip and a gig ass vice and nothing.

Tried to hammer it out also and nothing. Ended up braking more pieces of the 2 prongs that became pratically 1 and a half prong now.

Tried to hit the 2 little pint holes to lose the mechanism also, nothing

Besides using a dremel to cut the 3 remaining cogs and cut the floating part of the body to be able to disassemble the freewheel, which remains to do?? Any more ideas??

Thanks.
