If your heater is a Suburban, the "bigger hammer" will probably work. If it is an Attwood and someone put a steel plug in the aluminum tank, you could well be looking for a new heater.
If this is the case, and it has the wrong plug, AS A LAST RESORT, try heating it with a plumbers torch to loosen it. If It works, put the correct plug in... if it doesn't work, well.... you were going to have to replace the tank anyway...
ONLY use this direct heat via torch as a LAST RESORT! Try any other reasonable suggestions first!
