The material on my GXP bottom bracket cups is stripping off and I cant get the drive side cup out. Any ideas on how I can remove it with out messing up the threads in my bottom bracket?

What reptile said, but soak it with WD40 first.

Just happened to me, was trying to remove the cups and stripped the drive side cup.

Will give the penetrating oil/pipe wrench a try tonight.
