I needed to use Muc Off Mo94. Spray it into the thread, let it work for a bit and then it should be easier. Granted, I still needed to use my foot to drive the wrench, put a dent into it too, but it worked.
WD-40 should work too if that’s easier to get.

That thing looks crossthreaded as hell

If that comes out, it’s not going back in. It’s definitely cross threaded.
Helical coil fix or new crank arm. Maybe new pedals if the spindle threads are mangled too.

Jeez, it’s been wound right in on a crazy angle. Nevermind how to get it out, how did you get it in?!
