the penetrating oil lubed the splines, making them slippery. this helped the improperly driven BB remover socket climb out of the splines... if you don't have the correct tools or experience, take the bike to a bike shop before you damage it.
The splines in the BB are already Damaged... any more damage will not be good.
take the bike to a Good Bike Shop before you Damage it .
