Check the valve stem caps.

If it’s just rounded take a hammer and give the plug a couple of good taps. Then take either a pair of vice grips or a cobra style pliers and loosen the plug. Very simple task.

Tried this didn’t work. Vice grips just made it worse

Do you have an Irwin bolt extractor kit? You can get a small kit for pretty reasonable.

Tap the extractor socket onto the rounded head. Remove plug.

This happened to my '05 F250. I tried everything using the tools I had and couldn't get it to budge. All my online research said to weld a nut on there. I didn't have a welder so I just went to an oil change place and they got it off.

Just what I was about to say

You and your old lady are hell on oil pans!!

I'd give it a shot with a small pipe wrench if you haven't already.

Tighten up the vice grips, the plug shouldn't be in the that tight

Don't let it being upside down trip you up.

I can probably get it out for you but you will have to bring it to me. Pm me if you want. I am just south of down town Houston.
