Oil Change Difficulty...

Hello hello
So I finally have all the goodies and ready to do my (first on the Saab) own oil change. I have the Puraltor Pure One filter, 5 qts of Mobil 1 0w40 SuperSyn, Haynes manual, and Mobil instructions (been awhile since I changed my own oil). Couldn't find any oil flush to use.
I am underneath trying to undo the drain plug, and the darn thing is not budging at all! I jacked her up to take a closer look and try to get some more leverage, and it just ain't working. To make matters worse, I am starting to strip the head. I guess the Swedes must be using a 12.5mm head because the 12 does not fit, and the 13 (figures, I am extremely superstitious) is what is causing the stripping and won't work. Now what do I do? Back to the dealer to let them deal with it? Quick lube place?
Any thoughts of how to get it off? And will I be waiting til I get a new plug - the super magnet one Dean refers to if I do need a new one?
Thanks all!
