Stripped drain plug

Oh man, I'm hot. I've worked all afternoon and evening attempting to loosen the oil drain plug on my 98 900S. I was wanting to do my first oil change on my car since purchasing it last week. Apparently, some chucklehead at the Saab dealer in Cleveland, where the last oil change was performed last year, must have thought the manual said to torque the plug to 200 pounds instead of the 20 that Saab recommends. The head of the plug is now completely stripped and I've tried Vice Grips, hammers, smaller sockets, but no luck. The plug is fairly chewed up now. Anybody got any ideas?
