Default drain plug removal (cast iron)

If this is a brass plug, it is very thin. Our plumbers normally
just plan on breaking out the brass plug, do the work, replace
with a new brass plug. I asked them about dosing well with anti
seize compound for next time - nah, we'll just break out the next
one.

I've got some kind of a cleanout plug on the 4" cast iron
street drain. This likely hasn't been open in 80 years.

I'm anticipating trouble. Any hints? PB Blaster a waste of
time?

I figure that I'll need to some Scotch to get through this.
