The cast iron can 'take the heat' but I'd be wary if there are any joints
nearby. In the olden days the joints were often packed with a fibre material
and then lead was poured into the space above the fibre stuff.
I would assume the nub on the top of the cleanout is for a pipe wrench. A
pipe wrench has teeth to bite and hold onto the item being wrenched upon.
Some penetrating oil applied an hour or a day before attempting to remove
might help. I like PB Blaster. Kroil is another well regarded product. A big
pipe wrench has the advantage of more leverage.
