But it's a good thing you made me check the version of that crank that's on a bike in the shed; it takes a 22mm. If you got a 23.35 in there then either they made both sizes, or you has *big* arms.
I know it's not a good idea (see post 8 above). I would not recommend it. But I assumed, perhaps incorrectly from what you said, that this stronglight crank required the stronglight puller and it worked without pulling the threads off.
