I have a few brass cleanout plugs on cast iron risers, they probably have
not been opened in 30 years and would not come out. I tried a 18" wrench
and even a chisel with a hammer to try to drift it open and it would not
move an inch. Soaked with WD-40 let sit for an hour tried again no luck.

I think my only option left is a desctructive method.

Can I drill a hole and start a cut with sawzall to cut a piece out (like a
slice of cake)? and then use a plier to pull it out once a slice is
removed? I don't care about the plug I can replace it with PVC plugs, but I
don't want to destroy the threads (or whatever threads are left).

put some fast heat around the cast perimeter, then try it. If that
fails, let it cool completely and repeat. Remember, once the plug gets
hot, you've not gained anything. You need the cast hot fast and the
plug still relatively cool.
