I think that if the Glow Plug is actually moving as you turn it I would go with feeding it the PB Blastster and turn it one way and then back the other till it is loose. Doing that also helps to wick in the PB Blaster.

The 2 major rasons for a stuck Glow Plug are Carbon got past the sealing sholder and filled in the empty space sort of freezing it in with carbon and or the threads on the Glow Plug got corroded.

Hitting it with an impact wrench does not deal with the Carbon issue as well as letting the PB Blaster soak into the carbon might.

Bun unfotunately I have had to do it myself. I am going by experience with other things.

I would start with the least likely to break the Glow Plug methods first the go on to the others.

When you install the new Glow Plugs use a never-sieze type compound on the threads and some put some on the body also but not the tip.
