I had this problem with a set of cheap Shimano cranks. I also had a cheap no-name crank extractor tool that was always a bit iffy, never seemed to fit the crank threads very well, so I bought a genuine Shimano crank extractor.
Before resorting to more destructive methods I thought I'd give it a go with the new crank extractor and hey presto, off they came. The Shimano tool obviously fit better, enough to fit in what remained of the stripped threads.
