What is it with polo-ists and weird terminology? I think you mean 'stripped' or 'crossthreaded'. Some-one else kept going on about how their wheel was 'dished' when they probably meant 'buckled'. The motorised bicyclists amongst us keep going on about stoner music festivals call 'headstock'. Can we all agree to use actual recognised language? It makes stuff easier.
Anyway - if you want your crank off, you're going to have to cut it. It's actually quite satisfying and feels like you're a skilled manual worker (what with your saw and proper tools and all). And if you do it well you might save your b/b.
