best bet, get yourself a good pair of vise grips (locking plyers). If you do not own a pair, you local auto parts store or Home center sells them. If you can not get them off with vise grips, you will have to take it to you local mechanic.
Have somebody WELD a rod onto the stripped plug & use that 2 turn it -- then throw the rod & plug away & put in your new drain plug with a new gasket for the plug.
