i have found in the past the wedge can drop or get caught on the wonk
when it slips a touch into the down tube hole inside the head stock.

Actually, in the dim distant annals of my past I think thats happened to me.  Twisted wedge and a bloody nightmare.  Although Mr. Clubby did eventually sort it out   ;D

If the stem bolt screws in then hopefully the wedge it's twisted.

I like the idea of turning the forks upside down and poking something through the bottom of the folks and wacking it.  This hopefully will get the wedge out the way it went in. Could you screw the stem bolt in the bottom of the wedge. ie poke that through the bottom of the forks?. If you can you have at least a secure bolt to wack.

you will strip the thread in a second flat   any good piece of metal that will reach will do  then bash big time.

sometimes constantly light tapping wil also dislodge them, i had one stuck in when i was a kid, belted it with a club hammer and beat my stem to feck aswell, my dad came along and lightly tapped for about a minute, the stem just released, its worked for me when doing my cars in the past too
