Stop whatever you're doing. Let me hop on a plane and get up there with my GoPro so we can get vids of this happening.
Just kidding. Glad you got 'em out, hope the new ones go in... I was freaking out reading this because I didn't use anti-seize either.

I left mine in for 15k miles with no issues.. just changed them recently
I have never used anti seize on NGK's, I always use a torque wrench though. Usually to 21 ft lbs. I used to do 19ft lbs but noticed they were almost loose at 19.
edit: sorry just realized i was the 4th person to comment about the iridiums lol

If this ever happens again, best thing to do is......Crack every sparkplug a bit, then plug the coils back in and start the car and rev it up real high one time and shut it down. This will break any carbon from the threads at the tip of the spark plug in the cylinder. Next, start backing the plug out until you start to feel a little drag, then start tightening it back in, then back it out a bit more and just keep repeating this until the plug becomes free to come out or you have backed it all the way out. This will ease the plug out and slowly break the carbon up and keep it from tearing the threads out of the head.
Make sure from now on to always put a little bit of copper anti-seize on the sparkplug threads and don't reuse those plugs you pulled out. Don't ever use nickle anti-seize either, it eats the aluminum in the head.

I just bought this

Hopefully this will do the trick
How do I move the piston down without starting the car, turn the crank pulley?

I have a Supercharger, there is no room for a ratchet and socket to get to the nut with the added sc pulley over the top of the oem, and its a pain in the ass to remove with the SC and steering rack in the way.
