In the end I got it out using an 8mm hex socket, but instead of using a regular socket ratchet on there (because it wouldn't fit), I put an 8mm box wrench on the hex part of the socket and used a cheater bar on that. I seem to recall tapping it with a hammer also. I think you can get more torque that way than with a traditional allen key which twists too much.
Either way, make sure you can loosen the filler plug first!
