Stop tapping with the hammer or you may break the tubing threaded into the shoe. Use a mini hacksaw and cut two grooves through the strainer from top to bottom and out to the edge. Use a small cape or half round chisel to remove the piece between the cuts and then slightly fold the remainder towards the center. The strainer will then unscrew easily.
