I accidentally stripped the plug on our project car's trans by turning it in the wrong direction, so I grabbed its lip with vice grips SUPER tight and turned it, worked well and came right off. I then got our spare from the parts inventory and put it on. (and have since ordered and inventoried another spare ) Its nice having hundreds of extra parts available right at home.
