Expert Reply:
If your Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter # 16310 was left in a hitch for an extended period of time is very possible that it seized up in the hitch. You would just need to apply liberal amounts of penetrating oil like WD40 around the shank of the adapter. Applying some and then allowing it to soak for a while would be your best option.
If it is still being stubborn you can try installing a fifth wheel hitch in the rails, attaching it to a fifth wheel trailer, and then with the pin of the gooseneck hitch out so that it should slide out use the trailer's jacks to lift the hitch and adapter out of the gooseneck hitch.
