Wrap a bit of leather (e g. old glove) around it and grip on that with mole grips. Yes a bit of gentle heat on the ally may help.
I use one of these for stubborn fillers!

yup so I'm going to find one of those now. I used the blow torch and the knob somehow caught fire so I threw it out of the garage and then worried about what to do. The leaves on the drive were starting to burn, and i eventually knocked it hard and the knob went out, leaving it firing hard into the ground.
I thought I'd just let it run dry, but after a few minutes I banged it again and dislodged the canister from the top. phew.
Filler still not off!
