18” pipe wrench for the win! Thanks for all the help fellas!

I purchased this upper super cheap because the previous owner could not get this Q cherry bomb off. I’ve tried what Q recommends, I’ve tried soaking it in water for a day , boiling it, tried mapgas, used an impact driver, torque wrench + breaker bar and all I’ve managed to do is strip it out even more than it already was. Any suggestions before I bust out the pipe wrench or angle grinder? This thing sucks shooting unsuppressed and the threads that go into the hub system are damaged so that’s also a no-go.

Throughout the years I’ve replaced a bunch of things off different rifles and I was finally able to build a complete one out of all those spare parts. Geissele mount is a replica I purchased for 22lr build.
