If the vise grips bung up the shaft too much to get it out of the frame, cut the shaft and remove from inside the frame. Nothing like a BFFI (brute force and flipping ignorance) approach to a problem, eh what?
Unless the head was broken off while trying to remove it, and the shaft is still inside the wooden stock...
