I had a similar problem with an amp I owned and while this solution might seem like overkill, it worked.
I drilled a small hole in the center of the plastic cap and screwed in an appropriately-sized 'Easy Out' until it had enough grip that I could pull the plug straight out.
You should be able to buy a single Easy Out at any hardware store for a couple of dollars, along with the drill bit to match it.
