2024 Giant TCX Advanced Pro 1 with carbon D-fuse post.
I've found several threads about D-fuse posts with the wedge at the top of the seat tube, on the front of the post. It seems this system with the lower wedge on the rear is less common.
I've soaked the post and wedge in WD40, tapped up and down on saddle with a mallet, heated seat tube with hairdryer, hung saddle over a bar and whacked down on the rear wheel with quite a bit of force. I'm reluctant to apply more force and I'm out of ideas.
I will take it to my local Giant dealer tomorrow if I can't get it out. I have the bike sold pending the removal of this post, so I'd like to get it out today if possible. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Twist it back and forth in the frame with some force. You’ll hear it break free.
Stop right now. Take it to your dealer. All you’re doing is fucking up your frame. Your wallet will thank you later.
