If these are the kind of slugs with a hex hole, freezing is often
caused by a hairline crack radiating out from the center.  If that's
the problem, nothing on earth will free them (this from 18 years in
the TV repair business).  With care, you can drill them out but it's a
difficult job and easy to damage the coil form.  Good luck.
