There are other removers which won't limit depth, but before springing for one, count turns to see how many threads are engaged.
You only need 4-5 threads, since that's all that many cranks have anyway. If you're only getting three or less, it might work, but considering the relative values of cranks and tools, I'd but a tool that threaded to the bottom.
