The rope-packing trick has been used with some success.

If you drive anything between the head and block, be very careful not to damage either the head or block surface, and avoid driving anything into a stud or bolt. A knick in the base of a stud could lead to breakage.

If you are working on the valve side of the engine, be careful not to drive anything into any of the studs or the valves.

I would not try using a head puller device that sits on top of the studs and pulls up on the head via the spark plug threads on a 10 mm plug head or an aluminum head.
