Are you sure that it isn't staked or otherwise peened elsewhere?
Maybe a set screw or a pin?
I would soak it in Kroil over night.
Then if that didn't work, I would do the old farmer trick of setting it in Coca Cola, again, at least overnight.
Sometimes, all it takes is a really good downward smack to get it to free itself.
Then it will twist out like normal.
Is there an exploded parts diagram somewhere that has a parts list.
Wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts if the parts list showed it as having left hand threads?
After the Kroil, coke, and a good couple of smacks with a flat bladed screwdriver and hammer, I'd try heat first. Maybe the tip of a sodering iron first in the slot, and then a MAPP gas torch.
And before it cools down, try the flatbladed screw driver smacks with a hammer.
Then I would try drilling it out. Yeah it would be nice if you had left handed drill bits, and maybe left handed taps, and a drill press, with a cross slide vise. Just don't fuck yourself any further by breaking a tap off in the hole.
