I’ve whacked it pretty good and nothing.

Just curious... at this point, what difference does it make? You say you can't get it to budge. You've tried heat. You've banged on it. Whatever Peavey says isn't going to change that fact, right?
If you want to do this yourself, I think you only have a few options.
You can try more heat. You want it hot enough to loosen whatever adhesive is there but not hurt the finish. That can be a fine line.
You can use a small drill bit and try to break it up and hopefully get out 'chunks' and then clean up the slot.
You can try use a small drill bit to create 1 or 2 small holes and then setup a steam nozzle to try and loosen it, much like you would to remove a guitar neck for a reset.
You can try a Dremel-type tool and try to route it out.
You can try various combinations of the above.
Just my $0.02... and it's worth every penny!
