How can I unscrew and remove this from my tub drain? It won't loosen when turning by hand or flat head screwdriver. It cracked when I tried a wrench

It's hard to see what's going on here, but you might try using an irrigation tool called a riser or nipple extractor -- it's designed for removing broken plastic risers outdoors, but might work if you can insert it far enough (it's difficult to tell from your photo if the material in the center is a liquid or a solid).
