Isn't the temp gauge driven by a Bourdon tube? Or is there a bimetal spring as
well, or instead of?
Inquiring minds ...

Due to the excessive you applied you have damaged the bimetal spring
inside the temp gauge. The only thing to do now is have the gauge
rebuilt correctly.
Any time the temp probe will not come out DO NOT APPLY HEAT.
