Thanks Eric, that is good advice. I think I even may have a helicoil tool and inserts knocking around, probably in the wrong size! I'm hoping the threads aren't stripped but with such a tight plug in an aluminum pan, they most likely are. Dave makes a good point about the 6 vs 12 point tools, the ring wrench was 12 but the socket I used was a 6 and still damaged the plug. And, it was a Craftsman, not some Chinese junk! Very frustrating! I'll post how the problem is resolved in due course.
