how to remove melted spark plug?

So i went to change my spark plugs yesterday to NGK iridiums, the first 3 were fine and came out no problem, but the last one all i can see is black around the outside and i cant get ahold of the plug to unscrew it.

if anyone has any idea how i can get this out please reply ASAP

btw i have an 01 lx coupe

what exactly happened? there is too much junk in the way so you cant get a socket around the plug? try spraying a lil bit of carb cleaner to see if it cleans things up and try again.
