True. I've only ever done it on fun cars, not the daily driver tintop.

Next stage you're tearing it off with pliers, after that you're tapping with a screwdriver from inside the remains to get it out of the thread, if that doesn't work you slice into it with a jigsaw blade and pick it out.
The screwdriver normally works but it can be messy.

Axle stands, there were some recommendations for the small ramps on here a while back. They seem quite useful if you have the space to drive on them.

I feel your pain. I often resort to just ramming a long flat head screwdriver through the old oil filter and levering it off with that. It's not like you're going to be reusing it after all.
