If you have a long enough bit, drill into the battery with a bit just smaller than the battery diameter. You may break it free or be left with just a shell and might be able to use a long screwdriver and a pick to pull out the pieces. I did this once. I guess you could drill into the battery and run a screw into it and try and pull it out.

A man after my own heart. 1st solution to every problem is wack it with a hammer
. Not so sure about that rubber stuff though.

Same for me here...
I've had similar experiences with "D" battery manufacturer and have since moved to "E" producer without any issues to-date.
took me a while, but I finally convinced my much better half that even free duracells were not a bargain and she has stopped buying them... smae ruined flashlight issue.. and one emergency radio...
Perhaps I'll take the hit someday. I currently use between 130 and 260 AA batteries annually, depending. I use Duracell with no issues going on since Oct 2022. these are all outdoors in trail cameras. Currently have 17 active cameras with 2 in reserve.

Baking soda is Alkaline so putting it in a corroded Alkaline battery compartment does nothing. Yes, it works on car battery terminals but those are acidic.
Call Duracell and send a picture they will reimburse you the price of the flashlight
