At this point removal of the Cylinder head is almost your only choice.
If you do manage to get is out, using an easy out and penetraiting oil and will put shavings and bad things inside the engine.
If this engine is a Ford 5.4 Triton it is easy to break off spark plugs due to the design of the spark plugs. So, a broken spark plug remover kit is available that works well. Most auto parts stores can sell you the tool.

If your spark plug doesn't screw in your threads might be messed up. Run down to your local Part store and ask for a Thread Chasser($arround 10$) and screw that in to your spark plug housing just as you where screwing in a spark plug. What this does is it replaces the threads. Take out the chasser, Lubricate your spark plug and you should be good to go.
