YIKES! Don't be hammering on the processor/HS combination! The processor is ceramic, and it's pretty brittle.
If I were trying to get this processor off, I think I'd try hitting the heatsink with cooling spray and then a heat gun. The fairly rapid cooling/heating cycle may break it loose. Don't put cooling or heat directly on the processor, but just the top of the HS.
