It is very little chance that the drain plug is cross threaded. It's not really possible to get it in that way.
The flange on the plug have a nasty tendency to bite on pretty good to oil pan when tighten too much.
In those cases I use an air hammer and chisel to give the plug a lite whack and it comes loose , no sweat. You do need to know what you are doing though since if not concentrated enough or not familiar with an air hammer, you could possibly run the chisel through the oil pan if you slip.
