I could never get my anode out, tried everything. The plumber who installed my new unit said he gave up on them, as the bolt is so tight. He said he switched to using combo anode rods, which integrate with the hot water outlet, so they are easy to get in and out.
But at 15 years, you are better to replace the tank before it leaks like mine did! It was 16 years old, and I told myself I'd do it at 15! Don't regret it like Fuzz.
