Have you tried a generous dosing of WD-40. No much holding it in..... Shouldn't be that hard to get out..... but aren't those the things that always are.....  crazy2

+1 on the WD-40, maybe you can replace it with something easier to get out next time you want to remove it. The allen set sounds like a good idea.
