I bought a restored /repainted 1950 MM G tractor with cast iron engine, oil plug in underbelly. It has the square head drain plug. Have tried and tried to get the drain plug unscrewed so I can drain and change the oil. The repainting has apparently stuck that drain plug fast. I am trying NOT to strip or round-off the corners, but need some ideas. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I had to use a pipe wrench on mine. It didn't do much damage to the appearance.

I haven't experienced paint that strong.

The plug could be rusted in the threads from water in the oil. I would try a 4 sided socket that fits tight on the plug, you may have to use a mallet to drive it on the plug. Use a good penetrating oil. I use Kroil. I get it at my local bearing house. Spray it on, turn your work a little toward loose, and then back toward tight. You want to milk the penetrating oil into the threads.

If you are not worried about the paint you can use some heat on the plug, not too much though. The oil will carry the heat away from the site so you shouldn't worry too much about a fire. just be careful with your heat.

As a last resort, those plugs are cheap and are easy to replace. you could drill it and use an easy-out on it.
