It would be worth trying to get it working again. Maybe remove valve temporarily, refit the end plate with a bolt/washer to blank the spindle hole and focus on getting the valve and bushes separated then refit when they're free-spinning as they should be.
:agree
Having no EXUP does make the bike a real pain to ride on the road especially in towns, gunning it everywhere isn't really an option. I've seen many a seized valve, some really bad but only one I couldn't save. As mentioned it will take almost the same amount of effort just to remove it as to refurb it.
