If it's round how would any tool engage it to get it out?
Pipe nipple extractor?
Are the round seats, in fact, removable, or does he need one of those little re-surfacing tools made to smooth out the sealing surface ?

I think the answer is if it's round, it's not removable. Whether it's worth screwing around with, buying a tool to try to resurface it, depends on factors unknown.
