For less than the cost of a headset wrench or BB chasing tool, neither of which assures success, you could buy a pair of Jacobs Chuck removal wrenches and have the crank off in 10 seconds with little effort, and no damage to anything. I've been suggesting these for people in your situation for 30 years, and AFAIK, no one who every tried a pair failed to remove their crank.
How would I go about removing the crank using that?
