I finally got back to this this evening and using the procedure you all suggested the still-threaded-in part of the fitting came right out with no issues at all. I used what I think you all are calling an "ez out" (I've seen different things called that - in my case a short bit with a sharp, sightly curved, left-handed straight-blade like head that I turned with a small flat ratchet). The ez out was short enough that I was able to get it, and my fingers to push on it, in without even having to remove the coolant crossover tube (the car is a turbo). So much thanks.
