It is easy to strip the drain plug when changing the oil because most technicians tighten the plug way too much when putting it back in after an oil change. When the plug is stripped by someone the best thing to use when trying to get it back out is to Go to Lowes or home depot and buy a pair of pliers that have a very aggressive bite. That are usually around 12.00. This might seem like a silly suggestion but they work very well.

After trying a good quality 13mm socket, heat, mole grips and Stilton wrench, I finally got this out by hammering a 12mm socket onto the head and applying heat and then it came straight off easily. The 12mm socket was undamaged. Seemed to work really well.

I used "Vise-Grips" and was able to whack the handle with a hammer. It took repeated blows and resetting of the "Vise-Grips" to loosen the plug.
