Correct me if I'm wrong, but have you checked the torque of the head nuts? Because the question I would ask is why is it leaking?
But if you still need to remove the head and you have good compression. Remove all nuts leave the plugs in and crank the motor over a couple of times. I have found this will break the seal and then a putty knife can be inserted between the head and the block, while using an engine host to lift the head off.
Or am I all wet?
