How hard I should try to remove spark plug

I am trying to change out my spark plug, as mine has 126000km on it and its still the same one out from factory.

I was trying to unscrew it by a crappy (Canadian) tire spark plug remover (very low quality), but i can't get it loose even by forcing it. Obviously I don't want to really force it out as its possible that it seized up. My next step is to break it loose by a ratchet/socket (and so I got a 6" extension bar). My question is, how hard should I try undoing it before I take it to a garage for a proper seized-up plugs removal?

Sorry if its a stupid question, I am really new to DIY vehicle maintenance.

Thanks all!
