Wow, sounds like you have a stubborn one! I’m surprised that you didn’t pull the threads out of the flywheel before breaking off one of the three puller bolts. Especially since they are 1/4 inch. I’ve had that happen to me before, and on one occasion, I ended up drilling and installing 3/8 Helicoil inserts so I’d have a stronger thread to pull on. Actually, the Helicoil insert is much stronger than the original aluminum threads that you have now. This may be a better option than ruining the crankshaft. Just my opinion,I may be wrong.
