So sorry you are experiencing the same problem I had with my lG refrigerator. It wasn’t until I removed the shelf below the water filter allowing the door for the water filter to drop further down that I was able to remove the old filter with ease. My problem was solved.
I ran into exactly the same thing with the same model fridge. I finally got it out by turning it counter clockwise and pulling straight for about ~10 minutes continuously, it eventually popped loose. I think the rubber o-rings on the filter spout swell up and it takes steady pressure for several minutes before they start to roll and then release.
I just came to RUclips to try and find a solution for the same exact problem. I’ve had mine stuck for months and can’t get it out. I’ve tried so many things to no avail. Any luck on your end?

No luck. Still stuck.
Try holding the casing door down while you pull on the filter maybe that would work.
Experiencing this exact issue, and was hoping to see if you had any luck removing the filter?
I am having the same problem. Have you been able to replace the water filter?
did you ever figure this out? i have same fridge same issue
No solution. I contacted Whirlpool and got a generic response. They basically said call a repair man.
Same problem. Nothing seems to work.
I am having this issue with my Whirlpool Gold series. I can rotate the filter counter-clock wise but does not pull out. What is the solution?
