A well-known luthier once told me an effective way to remove a stuck peg
without damaging it:
Take a short length of wooden dowel (1 inch or 2 cm) that is slightly smaller

from analysis of thousands upon thousands of exacting physical
measurements of real-worlds strings, vibrating under real-world
