That is a good suggestion to heat cycle the head. I would use a six point 1/2" drive spark plug socket (or deep socket), with the shortest 1/2" extension you can find. Take a pipe and slide it over your breaker bar -- the longer the pipe the better. It will give you much better control over transmitting the torque to loosen the plug. Don't use any universal jointed sockets or extensions -- have a helper apply downward pressure on the breaker bar to make sure the socket doesn't jump up from engaging the plug.
