The blanks got too worn down to be taken out of the shoes with the ordinary wrench. Any ideas to help me get them out would be much appreciated.

Get vice grips if there is enough room to fit them on the blank to get it out. Connect the vice grips to the blank so that it doesn't come out and twist.
Use a file to get the two edges back and then grab them with vice grips. Push down hard when trying to get a bite.

Yep.
Needle nose vice grips are another great tool for this.
Bolt extractor. Any auto parts store, Harbor Freight or Sears will set you up.
