And for what it's worth, I took it to a bike shop many weeks ago when the stem was still whole and they couldn't get it out, so I've just been spending some time here and there trying to surgically remove it.
Have you tried driving it out from below?

As an aside, there's not many bike shops around anymore that can work on anything without a threadless stem....
