Just a thought, before drilling any holes in the stuck post, it may be posible to remove the bottom bracket and use compressed air to force the piece of wood upward. I had luck doing this on an alloy post which had been pushed too far into the frame with no way to get a grip on it. Luckily the alloy post was the type with the closed end top.
