You might try the heat and when it's still hot drip candle wax into the crevices. This works well on exhaust studs so it's worth a try. Worst case scenario, cam towers used aren't that expensive. Are the towers still attached to the engine? Is the engine still in the car? If they are out then there's always the venerable drill.(You may need a drill bit extension). Just replaced a customers clutch on their East Coast Subaru Legacy and had to use the old Fire Wrench on virtually EVERYTHING so I feel your pain.
