I avoided the problem by replacing the plugs early, adding anti seize and torqueing to spec. What is happening here is the plugs are bonding with the aluminum head. This is in combination with difficulty in servicing and chance of cross threading. Plugs must be torqued to exact value which isn't much so many are either too loose or too tight if not torqued. I have 185k and haven't had a problem, yet. I do my own work.
Very sketchy design. Who would think they would screw up something as basic as spark plugs.
