Caustic soda is only going to work if the stem is aluminium, and the steerer tube / forks are steel! Also never hit the stem up from inside the forks as the wedge makes it completely ineffective. If it's steel stem cutting it out might be your best option but its going to be a pain not having anything to grip on to.
