You might have to go along with Alans 1st suggestion if all else fails (I like it) my 1st choice would also be the heat treatment, if the slugs are slotted and you have a spare soldering iron bit then file the bit to either fit the slot or file the end flat for max heat transfer...taking into account the material the coil former is made of, if they are polystyrene then extra caution is needed, some times screwing in before screwing out helps as it will reveal some of the cleaner thread in the former and it will give you a chance to clean out the threads on the former say anit clockwise with an L shape tool/hook. a bit of lubrication can help in certain circumstances.
Hope this is of some use, good luck whichever way.
