I think you're going to have to use a blue-tipped wrench (i.e. a torch) to heat the frozen- up thermostat cover, and hopefully loosen it. You can also try heating the studs afterwards. You also might

I'm with you! I've never gotten an easy-out to work consistently for me either. And I've spent a good deal of money buying better and better easy-outs with the same results....broken easy-outs! Then
