Stock Exhaust Removal Blues

Last night, I started to install a Gibson Dual Sport exhaust. In the process of
trying to remove the stock muffler, I have reached an impasse.

The muffler will "wiggle" back and forth and will rotate somewhat (I bent back
the edges by the cutout for the tab on the pipe from the cat). I have used a
propane torch to heat it and broke a screwdriver (I know, the right tool for the
right job) trying to pry the muffler off.

It seems that the crimp from the stock clamp has slightly flared (compared to
the crimp) the edge of the pipe going into the muffler. Any suggestions on how
to get the @#$&*! thing off?
