I once had a similar issue.
Came to change a plug and the whole thing came out minus the threaded bit. I managed to get it out with a extractor tool. I don't know the right name for it, but it's threaded the reverse way round so that when you screw it in the more it grips it tries to turn what its gripping anti clockwise. I think they're called stud extractors.
In any event it worked.
Might be a good idea to warm the cylinder head up a bit if it's been stood in a garden for three years before you try it.
