Owens suggestion for a pipe wrench ought to work.
If it has to be drilled and tapped then why not just drill and tap it for a some standard thread size and install a bolt or plug as a NEW drain plug??? Of course it won't be Hoyle for originality if that's an issue for the drain plug.

Another option is to use a pump to pump the oil out thru dip stick hole of some other convenient place. Oil needs to be warm. I've never used a pump but many have used it for motorcycle applications (seperate tank of course) and other applications wehere access to draining oil is difficult.
