Scott, vise grips may solve your problem but having never done this I am
not speaking from personal experience. If it happened to me though, I
would try this as a next step.
Of course putting some liquid wrench on the plug and tapping it gently
to spread the stuff along the threads would be another obvious step (I
assume you have already done this?).
Good luck.
