hmm. not sure there's much more you can do apart from applying more force/leverage.
maybe a scaff bar over the end of the stem with the fork legs in a vice? always the chance that the forks will break before the stem let's go though.
I'd deffo check the other parts move as well before investing too much time. hope you didn't pay a lot for it? 😐

Got given it, so no. Everything else so far has removed with no bother, other than a particularly stubborn plastic gear ferrule that was wedged in the stop. There's no visible signs of corrosion, other than the seatpost bolt, even the exposed section of stem where it enters the steerer is actually completely clean, which is why I'm a bit baffled

Cannondale R700, in a matching paintjob to my custom painted SS Evo, so yeah I'm quite keen on fixing it and without damaging the paint
