This is very extreme and used only as a last resort if all else fails, but it does work. Remove the cam and lifters, push the valve all the way up and cut the head off. Push the vale steam down and out through the lifter hole. Use the largest bar of steal that you have that will fit through a valve guide hole without touching the block and drive the guide down and out with a big hammer.
