Stuck Brass need some advice please

I've had several where tapping method would not work ( threads stripped out) i put a patch or Q tip to plug the neck, then put about ½" of JB weld inside the case. Once cured. Slide the biggest punch you can into top of die and press it out.
 
Try putting the die with the stuck case in the freezer for 12 - 24 hours. Take it out of the freezer and try driving the case out with your punch. If this doesn't work victor3ranger's suggestion using the RCBS case remover is an excellent option.

This works for brass cases in steel dies since the coefficient of thermal expansion for brass is larger than that for steel. The brass case will shrink more than the steel die when put in the freezer.
