This isn't necessarily the most economical solution, but a solution nonetheless:

Did the same thing on my bike. Went to torque down the last bolt after a valve job and it never stopped spinning.
I ended up taking the head off and having a machine shop do the time-sert. Fairly positive it ran me about $50.
