i've had a couple of stuck stems - Aluminium Stem in a steel frame. they just dont' come out.
there are heaps of threads abotu them on bikeforums.net
I know someone who 'dissolved' a stuck stem by sawing off the top so you can get the fork out and then soaking the enitre fork in Super strength Draino - apparently it will Eat the Aluminium but will not touch the paint or steel.
