I assume they are stuck in the head? Are you using a 6 pt spark plug socket?

You could try heating the plugs with a torch and then freezing it with canned compressed air used upside down.

If that doest work, after the engine is a bit warm pull the coils and add a little bit of high quality penetrating oil. Let it sit for a couple of hours and start it up to get the engine warm and try to remove them.

Lastly if that doesnt work, try an impact wrench.

I'm not sure what you mean. You mean you've got the coil boot 10mm bolts removed, and the coil boots pulled up and out of the way, and now cannot get the plugs out? The plugs should come out pretty easily. here's a video
