Help with injector

I have finally reached the stage in disassembly where i can finally pull the injectors out. Unfortunately, they appear to be stuck. The first and last time i had an injector replaced i remember the mechanic pulled it out using pliers. Of course the completely destroyed the head of the injector. Well, i have also destroyed the head and the injector is still stuck. I have removed the injector rails, but i didn't purge the fuel lines prior to disassembly. Does anyone have any suggestions?? Help.

Ps can i drill it out. i figure if i drill the edges it will break the seal and therefore come out. what do you think???

pull the rail and tap it out from the bottom gently.
it'll come out just takes time and finesse

Yes, do like internetautomator suggests. With drill you endanger your alu cyl head.
- Use rust solvent. let soak one day...
- use heat on the cyl head [expand], freezer gas [contracts] on the injector.
- is it possible to use screw tap?
- Try to get it turning, solvent will go in, hit tangentially with screwdriver/small hammer.
