Here is a simple trick for removing square head pipe plugs.

Use a suitable socket wrench extension reversed so the square female end goes on the plug.

Then, use a 12 point socket and ratchet handle on the male end of the extension.

If you have already buggered the plug too bad to do this, file it square and try again. If it is real bad you can file it down and use the next smaller extension.

When you put it back in (best buy a new plug) use teflon tape and do not overtighten.
