Try drilling it out with a left hand bit. I've had several broken bolts decide to back out from having a left hand drill bit run down the center. Realize you'll have to either go to town to get one, or order one from somewhere, but still a lot less trouble than dropping the oil pan.

You might also try a little heat from a propane torch. Make sure the area you're heating is well cleaned off first so you don't set the grease or oil on fire, & be careful not to get it too hot. Try to heat the pan around the plug more than the plug itself. Sometimes a little heat will soften whatever crud is stuck in the threads.

Good luck,

Keith
