Try penetrating spray (from auto shop). Leave the car so the cats are cool, spray, let soak for a few hours, then try again.

The 07+ cats are notorious for galling their threads when you try to take them out. I've had to wrestle plenty of them out of brand new cars.

My solution for all of them has been to just remove them, then chase the damaged O2 sensor threads with an M18x1.5 die. The female threads have always been okay.

Hope that helps.
