I do not recommend using any metal items to try to get the dead off,
you may damage the head.
You might try taking a piece of 2x4 and use it as a punch. With one
end against the head, bang on the other end of the wood at different
places around the head.
The wood gives instead of the head metal.
I hope these pearls of wisdom help get the head off without damage.
