Get a dowel that fits in the pipe. ( Not to loose.) Cut it a few inches long.From the furthest end from the plug . Fill the tube with oil. Put the dowel in displacing as little oil as possibleTap the plug with a small hammer. This will act like a hydraulic ram.Good luck

Did you try gently hammering transversaly on the plugged área, using a
brass hammer to loose it just enough to be pushed out with compressed air
?. Could be better if the pipe is connected to the compressed air line
while hammering.
