Thanks everyone.
I soaked it in penetrating fluid overnight upside down, great tip.
Repeated the drill of trying to get it out in several ways. No success.
Took it to Bikefix who got it out fairly easily with the aid of a bench vice and some twisting. Nice guys.
It wasn’t down to the butted section (headtube is long on this frame) but this was very interesting to learn about.
