Answer
Sounds like you have a fuel starvation problem, which is why the engine stops after a while, so check filters in the gas tank etc.  

Now to get the plug out, this will be difficult with a hardened steel easy-out in there.  Only way is to take off the cylinder head and have it spark-eroded out.  It will need to be done by a machine shop, bike shops typically farm this stuff out too.  It may be easier to find another head or even a motor to get you back on the road.

Good luck,  Jan
