I was dealing with a similar problem on the 1982 Lotus Supreme I'm doing as a project. Drive side came off like it was supposed to, NDS the threads pulled right out of the crank. When I calmed down, I looked at one of the MANY threads here on BF on this very topic, and ordered a pair of chuck wedges - a pair of thin steel wedges with 'U's cut out of them. Stuck them between the BB and the crank from opposite sides, hammered on them, alternating one then the other, and suddenly the crank popped off - *CLANG!!* as it hit the floor. Amazing.
