Ditch the breaker bar and collet on the end of the stud. The stud itself absorbs some of the torque you are applying because it's applied at the end, you need the torque just above the case threads. What are you using for heat? get one of those bernzomatic push button light rosebud heads they have at lowes or HD. Put a pipe wrench on the stud just above the case and put torque on it. Put the heat to it on the inside of the spigot and hold it until you feel the stud let go.
