You have quite a bit of the plug proud of the manifold. You should be able to grab it with vice grips or cut a slot across the diameter . A roofer's shingle removal tool at 90° would give you good leverage.

I'd heat the manifold up with a heat gun if required. I'd also suggest PB Blaster but not much help with the manifold mounted.
