'05 ARC; stripped oil drain plug bolt head

The head on my oil drain plug is completely stripped due to trying numerous methods to remove it. It all started with a regular 6-point wrench, no luck. Metwrench set that grips the sides of the head instead of the edges, no luck with enormous torque. Craftsman Bolt-Out; not even close. HUGE vice-grip, just shreds the bolt end. What is next?? Do I need to drill it out and use a drillbit looking extractor? Help! I bought the car used at the SAAB dealer in March at they did the last oil change and said they only use 1/4" torque wrench.
