Pulling it is the best way I know to do more damage to it than it already has.
A number of things can lock up an engine. Water in one or more cylinders will most certainly hydro lock it. A mouse nest could be in it. They can get through some really small spots. If it was stopped with a valve open, a mouse could have gotten in and built a nest. Rust is probably the number one reason for a stuck engine. Rust in the cylinders, rust in the bearings, or rust on any moving part. In any case, forcing it will simply compound whatever problem the engine already has.
My vote would go to doing some investigation to see why the engine is stuck. Once you know the cause, you can proceed from there without making it into scrap.
