I tried some of the suggestions (not Kroil or Wd 40) I thought maybe if I soaked it long enough, water would seep in and loosen the stopper. So far, no luck. I'm supposed to have company this weekend, going to see if they can turn the stopper

Thanks for the idea. I'll see what kind of small appliances I have that might work.
