If you are absolutely, positively certain that there is no washer still in the hole then it is remotely possible your crank was not milled out properly. Seems unlikely but it is possible.
I've used a pickle fork to remove a crank with stripped threads before, it works very well, just make sure to put a rag between interfaces of the tool, your crank and the bottom bracket. One light tap should do it. A pickle fork is an automotive tool that has a forked opening and is tapered. They are used for getting suspension parts (such as ball joints) apart. Most rental yards and automotive parts stores rent them for a couple bucks, they can be found at swap meets and flea markets for low prices as well. If you're friends with a mechanic, they likely own one. Double check your crank and use an awl or small screwdriver to make sure there isn't a washer in the hole.
