If its really stuck badly it maybe the focus lead corroded, in which case you would have to deal with that anyway. Patience and working slowly is the key.

Dittos to the above plus you can "gently" use two small screwdrivers at opposite ends and pry between the two. Take your time here of course and after a little loosening you can detect where the most tightness is (focus pin) and move the screwdrivers closer to that pin on each side. The socket should come of uniformally/parellel as much as possible.
