Not sure the thread holes go all the way through. I was not looking when I did mine but did not see that and I cleaned those threads carefully as there was a lot of good in them.
You may have just bottomed out.
If it does, threads may be a bit dinged but I think it would come off ok. If not, work it back and forth in the one position to free it up and back off
Do you use an action wrench?
You can clamp the barrel between two blocks of wood and using just the action wrench move it back and forth, same if it stops anywhere along the line.
