last ditch method:
cut of the stem head, leaving as much out as poss, remove the forks, this is crucial Get the 'plug' bit out through the steerer tube, if its DB your fucked, it wont come out. if it does, heat up the steerer tube to 'very, very hot' this will 'crack' the corrosion. get a bit of bar to make a drift, beat the fuck out of the stem from the under side of the steerer. If the plug wont come out get some very big stilsons on the remaining stem and turn.
worked for me.
You will need a big vice for this to work.
