regular thread. i used a 3/4in rattle gun to get mine out. Tough bastard, try heating if you can but impact is your best bet  good luck mate.

Best way is to get 17 mm socket on a breaker bar and lock it into place and give your key a quick turn, works every time

What happens next can range from nothing at all, to someone or something getting nailed by a rapidly moving breaker bar and 17mm socket. You don't need ignition, you just need the motor to crank over on the starter a few turns.
