I heated up the area around the starter and continued to lube the surrounding area. After about 8 hours and a full can of rust de-solving penetrating oil, I was able to get about a 1/16" travel and was able to slightly turn it.

I used a small (9" pry bar) and was able to work it around the starter collar. After it was about 1" out, with more lube, I was able to get the balance of the starter out. (It looks like the starter had been painted around the inside of the shaft where it contacts with the aluminum- this might of caused the removal issue)

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
