Heat the bastard up & get a f*ck off big set of multrips onto it. Alternatively grind some flat side onto it, so you can get another size spanner on it.

Do it straight after a decent drive when the oil is hot as sh*t, just get it to budge with a set of multigrips or something but do not undo it all the way unless severe burns are your thing. Let it cool down a bit, then proceed with all change.
Also, make sure you're f**king turning it the right way mate

Try using a breaker bar, it that don't get it you could use an air-chisel and knock the head off,
but you'll need a new sump plug
You could use a rattle gun but there is no point if you couldn't get it off with the breaker bar.

cant really use a breaker bar now that is rounded...
air chisels cost so much aswell

Seems excessive? If you have a metal file just file down one or two sides and grab the c**t with multigrips, those things will get anything out
Drilling it out could cause some serious damage if you are not absolutly exact!
You could always fold and take it to a workshop for the oilchange...

yeah see a bit of leverage, right tool for the right job, found out the hard way while pullin the motor apart, if its tough, use a bigger tool or youll just damage something (2 sockets and a spanner later)
