my guess is that that its stripped not sure if its the sparkplug or the head.

If its the head then they make a repair kit for it where you can re thread it

If its just the sparkplug then try to pry it up a little with a flat head screwdriver and twist at the same time

Can the repair kit be used without removing the head??

maybe your socket you're using just doesn't grasp the spark plug well, thus the spark plug just stays sitting in the head. Try it with a socket that is made to remove spark plugs, it will have a rubber piece which grabs the top of the spark plug.

If you're using this type already, then I am sorry my friend.
