That sucks. I had one old car that I was working on with a friend that wouldn't come off for anything. We tried torches, drills, 10lb sledge hammer, you name it. In the end the wheel bearing was toast so we just removed the wheel bearing and brake rotor as one unit.
You can try applying some heat from a torch (if you have it) around the face of the rotor but that only really works if you have a real torch (oxy). Another trick that works sometimes is to put the wheel back on over the studs and using your hands to jar the edge of the wheel causing a lever action on the rotor.
