I've used a car valve grinding tool to remove bulbs. It was OK as long as the bulb hadn't seized in the fitting which they often tend to do. Now I've got suckers that came with light fittings when we redecorated our living room but as the bulbs are now LED hopefully it will be a long time before I have to change them.

The fittings in my daughters house were particularly bad as the bulb holder was free to rotate in the ceiling fitting which resulted in one holder rotating and chaffing the wiring which then shorted out the lighting circuit. We replaced all the fittings and the new bulbs were LEDs.
