Milwaukee M18 Cordless drill- paint mixer stuck in jaws

I have tried a lot of different things to get this out. Held chuck while powered in reverse, then took off the battery to go at it manually. The mixer was used on pottery glaze, so I've put WD-40 and warm water on it to try to loosen but absolutely no luck. If anyone has any other tips for trying let me know, otherwise if I take this to a Milwaukee dealer will they fix this type of issue?

UPDATE- I finally had success thanks to lots of great advice from y'all! Worked on this on and off throughout the entire day, after soaking the chuck in warm water to soften the glaze (not sure how much that truly helped), I took a hammer and hit the mixer all around the sides right near the chuck, as well as lightly hammered the far end (hitting it like a nail into the drill) and eventually with the help of some pliers it just loosened up. Thanks for taking time to comment, y'all saved a Milwaukee drill today from a fate of permanent paint mixing🫡
