use a good quality 13mm 6-POINT socket next time, after you get a new drain plug after you get this one off. NO CHEAP 12-point socket for this nut, ONLY 6-point socket OK ?
How bad is the head ? You may try a Metrich socket, it works real well or moderately rounded nuts. I believe someone (jj ?) banged on a 12mm socket and it worked for him.
Are you doing this with the car on the ground ? Highly suggest you get the car up on a ramp or drive it to your trustworthy indy and put it on a lift. You won't get much leverage if the car is sitting on the ground.
And no need to panic, it has happened to many here.
