These spark plugs require a spark plug deep socket to get out so they are in there.
If you're having that much trouble getting the spark plugs out you will want to examine the threads when you take them out and make sure they're not cross threaded.

LOL, you're close. Aluminum expands at 3 times the rate of steel. So, in this case, the heads would expand more than the plug threads, making them easier to remove.

Is this a trick question? Spark plugs use either a crush gasket, or a taper to create a seal. No amount of penetrating oil is going to reach the threads…
