Square-taper cranks won't come off. Tricks?

The BB on my steel-frame bike is knackered and I can't get the cranks
off the square tapers anymore. Afraid I'll strip out the thread of the
puller tool. Various penetrating sprays didn't help.

From the last time the BB was replaced the bike experienced a transport
across the Atlantic on a ship which probably hasn't helped matters.

Any tricks of the trade?
