Default Seized Grub Screw

Hi Guys

I have a bathroom fitting made by Miller.

It is like a hoop that takes a glass soap dispenser.
Anyhow the hoop fitting slides onto a wall mounted spigot and is
secured by a grub screw.
Trouble is the mounting spigot has snapped and I am struggling to
remove the grub screw that fixes the hoop to that
spigot.
Guessing that the hoop body into which the grub screw is fitted is
chromed mild steel. Not sure what the grub screw itself is made
of.
The grub screw seems to be seized in the thread as the spigot that
it retains is loose.

I have put enough welly onto the Allen key to permanently twist
the key with no movement of the grub screw.

How do I free the grub screw?

Thanks

Phil
