I ground a notch on the head of the plug (after buying a flex shaft for my Dremel tool) then heated the area with my hot air gun. A few gentle taps on a piece of scrap rod ground to match the notch and the plug broke free. The really good news is there was almost no metal on the magnet.
My thanks to all for your help.

I agree a notch and steel rod, also though not apparently sensible a steel rod and hammer tap briskly as if pushing the plug straight in will jar & ease the thread/seat binding.

Once mine (Rotax 8p h.p.)was released thus, after lots of angst, I have always used a standard Rotax Copper crush washer - same as my oil tank plug - under the plug. Torqued the same & of course wire locked, it always comes out easily on oil change/Annual inspection never leaks either. Means I do not risk cracking the 0li crankcase from brutal force either !
It's a tip I've used for years now, surprised no-one else seems to know.
