Since you already know that the dipstick is bolted on, take the bolt out... spray the base with a penetrating oil and VERY CAREFULLY wiggle and pull upward... Respray and respray... It is a tight fit, and if you get too aggressive, you may break the tube. If you do that, you are looking at removing the timing cover and drilling it out.

Not threaded... but it will be a pain to get out.
