Clean the oil pan and have a fire extinguisher (sp. correct!) handy. Then get a butane torch and heat the oil pan. The plug should come right out.

It helps if their isn't oil in the pan because it does draw a lot of heat off. So if you have acess to a Topsider or something similer suck the oil out first. You will also want to have a new drain plug on hand because the old one will be messed up a bit.

Now when you put the new plug in remember to just snug it enough so it doesn't leak, don't go crazy.
