Go to the parts house tell them your problem and ask for an "E-Z Out" (or Ease Out) to fit the ID of the plug and a spray can of penitrating oil. I promise this isnt the first time they have heard of your problem.

Spray around the plug and let it sit for 30 min or so, then spray it again, take your time, dont get in a hurry.
Then use the E-Z Out to remove the plug.
