Oh, and I highly recommend book by Corky Bell called Maximum Boost. It's all about how to engineer and understand turbos, or superchargers.
I used to track a turbo, and it taught me a ton about how that stuff worked, and how to engineer the proper system.
Failing that, it's great bathroom reading.
I would probably hit it hard with PB Blaster and/or ATF fluid and let them soak in overnight, then following day try the removal. Maybe an Impact gun on lowest setting (and also lower the air pressure to half as well to ensure not too much torque on them)
I have heard of people using a helicoil tap kit to redo the threads entirely. (This may not be the right size for you but concept: https://www.amazon.ca/Helicoil-5334-14-Thread-Thread-Repair/dp/B0002SRF4O)
When I was looking into a P71, there was lots of talk on the Net indicating that this can be a problem in both the 4.6L and 5.4. An earlier issue seemed to be the opposite of plugs getting ejected while running and taking the threads with them...
I would probably use a tiny bit of never-seize on the damn things when they get replaced, but just about everyone out there disagrees with me on that.
Having said all of above, all my current cars are iron heads, so I am not at all expert on Aluminum ones
