THe special tool u made is the best way to have done it. I was not aware that the oil pan is cast Aluminum???? If so then heating the pan boss to 250 degrees F would have expanded the aluminum enuf for ez removal with just a wrench. There are heat guns like a hair dryer for such purposes.

But what did u find to be the reason that the plug was so tite to begin with????? Any signs of a sealer or bad threads or what????
