There is a tool I use in similar situations. It is meant for unscrewing oil filters - an adjustable rubber strap with a lever.
Alternate method is heat. Aluminium conducts heat quickly and so it expands. Rapid changes of hot and cold will often unlock stuck threads. Use a blow torch or BBQ gas lighter on the “female” thread so it expands then plunge the “male” into a block of ice.
