> Try drilling through the center of the plug threads with a 1/4 inch bit.

Use a LEFT-HANDED twist drill.  Drilling with a conventional right-hand drill 
will tighten the spark plug.

Often the torque and vibration of drilling with a left-hand drill will back out 
the stuck object without using an E-Z-out at all.
