Since this is such a common problem Ford has a way to deal with this issue. Not sure how they do it,(I think they have a specialized tool) but my advice would be get it to a Ford dealership quick before you damage your head and cost yourself a bunch more money.

It could be carbon build up from combustion gases leaking by the threads in which case a carbon solvent {Berymans chem tool} would soften it enough to get a socket on it.
