First you drip lightweight oil around it and let it sit. If you are one of the lucky ones that still has the T in the bottom of it, then you can spin it out with a pair of needle nose pliers and a screwdriver. If the T has rotted out, the you will have to notch it and lightly tap a screwdriver that is placed in the notch until it breaks free. If someone used plumbers putty on it to install it, then you will be tapping for a while. Don't get impatient, it will eventually break free and you will be able to unscrew it the rest of the way.
