I did a clutch job for a friend and his titanium knob was damn-near welded on with some kind of epoxy or something. I had to use a pair of vice grips on the shifter and a pipe wrench on the knob to get it loose, and even then the threaded portion of the shifter broke off.

Heating the hell out of lock-tite will render it useless.
You could grab a torch but you'll ruin the paint possibly on the shift lever.
I would remove the leather from the knob....then I'd torch it and use a pipe wrench to take it off when super hot.
Glad it worked out though.
