So yea, took the propane torch to it then hit it with PB, banged on it, heated, pb, banged on it, etc. etc. etc. So yea, I'm calling it done. That thing isn't going anywhere.

try it again using a chisel... and if you don't mind bleeding the brakes you can disconnect the brake line from it and work on doing it that way and if you have a cut off wheel since you said its pretty much f'ed up any ways...

did you try removing the dust cap? the cap that protects the wheel bearing.. maybe it's causing the problem... take the whole thing off the car and beat it from the back side.. maybe that might work.. OR, thread a larger bolt into the spacer and put it in a clamp then pry on it. did you try an air hammer???

i say disconnect the rear brake line from the drum brake assembly and use a piece of wood say like a 2x4 and placed on top of the bearing assembly and start wacking away with a hammer untill it pops out

At this point, I'll probably just buy the bearing and attempt to work around the spacer myself. The entire bearing assembly is around 100 bucks. I dunno. I've pretty much given up on the possibility of a warrantied repair.
