Another alternative is to use a hand impact tool. Only downsize is it will put stress on the countershaft bearing. If you’re willing to go this route; HF sells them. Make sure to get the 1/2’ drive set. That way you can use an impact socket. Good luck!
Link to the HF hand impact. These come in handy for other jobs too.

I do actually already have that, I was using it previouosly to deal with ancient screws that i'm worried about stripping out.
Does that actually have a better chance at working than a power tool?

Got a Harbor Freight near you? If not- Amazon or Ebay will work... or you can probably find something used that will do the job on your local Facebook Marketplace or Craig's List..
unfortunately, for the money any new tool will cost me I could just about pay the shop an hour of labor to swap it out for me, which It looks like is exactly what's going to happen. I'd rather do that than risk making it worse with my continued fumbling.
