It appears you are using a variation of Sheldon's method. That's the way to do it. Try soaking the tireads in a good penetrationg oil like Kroil. Also make sure you are turning it the correct direction, left (British/ISO and Swiss) or right (French and Italian) depending on the frame's nationality.

Well I had to put a scary amount of weight of the frame in the vice, but it's out now. Thank you sir(s).
