Just thinking... Are you either a teenager or a roadie? Do you have trouble opening the pickle jar?
In which case it may just be your bony girl arms aren't strong enough to crank out the appropriate nm.
I say this because I was once a teen, and am now a roadie. So I have much experience in pissweakery.

Maybe need some DH monster like Rennie to wrap his teeth around it rip it right out of the crank?

Forget WD40, spray it with some of Rennies sweat. Don't confuse this with Gordo's sweat though, put that shit on there and you'll never break it.
 
Try one of these scientific methods.

1) Thermodynamic solution:
Construct a semi-permeable membrane which lets pedals pass through but is impermeable to cranks. Filter the crank and pedal through this membrane.

2) Quantum Tunnelling solution:
Place a empty, closed box next to the crank and pedal. According to the "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle", there is a non-zero chance that at some point, the crank or the pedal will tunnel into the box. Simply wait for this to happen. Note: this method may require some patience. Note 2: Be careful, if you wait too long you might find that both crank and pedal have tunnelled into the box.

3) Nuclear solution:
Place the crank and pedal in a leaded chamber and bombard the ensemble with slow neutrons until it becomes radioactive. Due to the process of radioactive disintegration, it will soon start to come apart all by itself. Note: The half-life of a radioactive crank and pedal is unknown. Do not stare into the beam.

I have an empty, closed box you can borrow if you fancy a crack at method 2. If indeed both the crank arm and pedal have tunnelled in due to your inattention, you owe me a new box.

Apparently if you put Rennies sweat in your Hadley or Hope hubs they become so quiet that they actually absorb ambient noise.

Fixed it for you
I don't think that's appropriate on an internet forum which may have kids around. . . . . . Besides, if you are going down that road I'd suggest a Boston steamer. Speaking of which I hear a porno spin off is ('scues the pun) coming, "Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, pedals are stuck."

Jens Voigt gets pedals off by keeping the bike stationary and rotating the earth around it.

That'd take a bit of explaining at the hospital. In that case, I'd go for the WD-40 and the boiling water and save myself the embarrassment.
