You might consider something harder than the wood block ... I have sometimes been surprised at how much impact a wood block can absorb. Try large chuck of plastic ... big handle on a screw driver using the sledge?
Is your wood block pine or something harder? Sounds silly, but an oak piece has worked in some cases for me when pine did not ... I have also had to go steel on steel before, but would certainly NOT do this with a head, aluminum or iron.
