oil drain plug
Rob,
Welding a nut or very short bolt is the best way. The heat will help in breaking loose the threads interface. Good luck!

It's a 3/8 female square hole. I wallowed it out. Here's what I've tried so far: . Made tool (bigger square) Failed. Drove cold chisel in to hole corner to corner. Failed Went to town and purchased large easy-out. started to drill pilot hole to drain old oil and to help when drilling 1/2" hole for easy-out. failed.. It drilled ok for bit and then stopped cutting. I am guessing that there is a hard steel magnet on top of the plug preventing me from drilling. Other than welding a nut on the plug, or replacing the oil pan, can anyone offer a remedy? This has not been my best day....
