the plug will come out by threading in a bunch which will wear out the threads then weld a long 3/8 bolt to the oil nut and make a remover with a small hunk of steel thread a nut on and brace teh steel and tighten the nut teh oil plug will come out, heli coil the plug hole and clean out the metal left with cheop oil and tilt the engine down on the oil plug side,

Well, every knuckle is smashed or bleeding and the plug holds its ground.
I curse the man that did this.

X2 with Cheleker. When you finally get the drain plug out you still have the real problem that needs to be fixed.

That is a great idea, I don't think ive tried that. I was just using a wrench and trying to get a screwdriver behind it to get pressure on it, will definitely try the vice grips.

While trying to remove it you say it is stripped, I'm assumning you are just using a socket or wrench and it's just spinning. Can you get a set of vice grips on it? Turn and pull at the same time?

I have 998 with the drain plug stripped so badly it won't come out. I have tried everything I could but drilling it out.
Any suggestions would help, if I need to drill it out, how do I go about that, without making things worse.
It is lose enough that it leaks oil like crazy, but it won't tighten up either. If I get it out, I am assuming it is the case that is stripped and not the plug. How do you fix the case in this situation?
