Stuck stem

I picked up a used Trek 710 and wanted to raise the bars slightly but the stem will not budge. I tried penetrating oil a couple times, then looked at the head tube from below and it looks like there is a shim around the tightening wedge. There is no rust for penetrating oil to work on. It is stuck tight. Anybody know how to solve this?

Thanks
