I'm a little stumped. Mine have never given me a problem,. All of them have just unscrewed like they should have.
Seems to me that if you unscrew the starboard side nut you should be able to slide the whole tube assembly towards the port side. (Use a brass or urethrae hammer to gently tap it sideways) That should buy you about a half inch or more of exposed threads. I'd take a pair of channel locks put a piece of bike inner tube on each jaw so you don't muck up the threads and try to clamp the tube right next to the port side nut while you back off the port side nut. Unless it's been cross-threaded it should unscrew easily enough.
