Yeah - I use a socket where I can, but the one did require an allen key, and I did it the way you suggested, with a little extra leverage from a dead-blow hammer.
Freeze off might help. Ideally when the transmission case is warm from driving. Penetrant might help too, but I wouldn't count on it. The issue is you're overcoming friction from the rather large flange seal - which has no sealing ring to provide slip.
I can not emphasize enough: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN or it will be worse next time.
