Ditto the Rhino Ramp suggestion. I paid a little extra and got the Rhino Ramp Extreme 12000, which is wider and stronger than the Rhino Ramp 8000. The ramps pick up the front end about 6-1/2", so you'll have room to work.
Vice grips and swear words worked for me, finally. Replaced my mangled plug over 2 years ago with Dorman Products part number 65216 size M14-1.50 which was cheap (bought it at Advance Auto Parts I think) and hasn't leaked a drop. Got a 6 point socket for it like oldsaab said, and the nut still looks like new. My owner's manual specifies 15-21 ft. lbs. of torque. Abusot is right, there is no need to overtorque.
Your oil filter is probably overtorqued too. More swear words if so. Don't give up. Do it right, do it yourself every time, and all future oil changes will be easy.
