Sounds like you have tried most things already - carbon is a bit of a bugger for fusing to stuff - and it doesn't help that greasing carbon can cause it to swell too... hmmm. Sounds like you just really need to salvage your frame... If you have access to a good strong bench vice - try turning your bike upside down and clamping the saddle post - at this point, with help from a friend you should be able to twist the actual bike, which might crunch and crack and free things up... by twisting the actual bike itself while clamping the saddle post you're creating a massive amount nms of torque and putting yourself at a huge mechanical advantage over the fused hardware. Good luck.
