Fortunately, this is a mouthpiece stuck in the upper end of the barrel, so damaging keywork isn't an issue. I second the suggestion to use gloves that won't slip. Or wrap a couple of thick rubber bands around both the barrel and the mouthpiece and use them as non-slip grips. With a little rocking (not too hard - the mouthpiece tenon or, more likely, the barrel socket could be damaged) and some firm twisting, the mouthpiece should eventually come loose.
