Attache shaft to butt, get a good grip and pull it out.
So many jokes here, so little time.

tried that.....worries if I apply to much force I'll wreck the pin
Isn't that a non-compartmented, box type case? What's in there to snag on?
Short of surgery what can be done besides yank it out?
Cut the case up to free the butt.
Few problems can't be solved with the proper application of HE.(High Explosive)
OK, HE might not be the best solution here. I would put a shaft on the cue just for a handle. Then I would shake rattle and roll! If there is any movement it should be possible to increase it unless it is fiber wrapped or tangled on the cue. I would still bring it in front of a TV or other distraction and work the cue around for a few hours or until it comes out. An application of a corn starch based powder should help.
One possible "last resort" effort might be to drill a hole in the bottom of the case. A rod being able to apply direct pressure on the problem and a few sharp raps on the rod with a hammer should move almost anything. A hole just over a half inch and a half inch quality aluminum or stainless rod should do the trick. Might damage a rubber bumper but with a little care that should be the worst that happens. The hole in the bottom of the case is easily repaired and you are back in business.
I don't know what your pin thread is but if you can connect a body shop style slide hammer to the top of the butt that might work wonders too.
Good Luck!

The frost. Sometimes it makes the blade stick.

Maybe compressed air somehow..??
Can you rotate it?
put a joint protector on butt. find a place to slam/smack/hit case with something to absorb force of butt hitting it when it releases. did the butt go in case as normal? what kind of cue/case?

thanks all, was able to pull and twist and slowly work it out
What caused the problem?

Fat Butt would be my guess, there is an epidemic of it.
