Harmonic Balancer not pulling off

I am working on my cam swap and everything has been fairly smooth so far, including the balancer bolt (torched and impact). I have the Chrysler 3 jaw puller and have used it on this car in the past without too much issue but now when i try to use the puller, the extension bar bent as i tightening the puller to pull the balancer off.

I went to the local metal supply store to get some steel, got 1/4" rod and that turned into a noodle. Then I went back to get a 3/8" stainless steel rod and that started to bend.

Luckily it doesn't look like there was any damage, I used a borescope to check the threads on the inside which look ok from what i can see.

However now I still can't get the balancer off. Any suggestions on how to get it removed?
