Slide a flat blade screwdriver tip between bolt head and oil pan, apply pressure and turn oil plug at the same time.What to do strip oil pan bolt?
If the head of the bolt is less than 3/4';, go to a parts store or a hardware store %26amp; buy a ';Gator Grip'; socket. This type socket works on just about anything as long as you didn't twist the head off flush with the oil pan.
if it,s loose stick a screwdriver under the head and use a wrench, maybe it will catch thread.or use vise grips and pull out and turn it the same time.
you mean you rounded the head. well you have a couple of choices , try to pound on a slightly smaller socket with a hammer and try that or, get yourself a good pair of flat ended vice grips, apply alot of locking tension and give it a go, you may find if it is a steel pan try heating it slightly with a torch around the plug. (only if its really stubborn)


if none of these work you will most likely have to remplace the pan and gasket
Go to any autoshop store or hardware store or sears and get a bolt or nut extractor kit. Anywhere from $10-$40 depending on the number of different sizes the kit comes with and the brand name. These extractors bit into the nut or bolt as you turn it and it will come off. Problem solve.
Hes absolutely right. Although if you do get it out with vise grips you should check the threads in the pan itself. if damaged you could re-tap them to a bigger size, i dont recommend doing that tho- best to just replace pan and gasket, BSTS
