If it is the head of the bolt is messed up so much you cannot get a wrench to hold on it everyone has said that Sears sells a set of External Eze-out type nuts that fit over whats left of the bolt and grips it so that you can get it off. I have seen them myself but so far have not needed to buy them.

I have a set and they work well for some applications. That drain bolt is large enough that a *quality* 6-point socket should get it off, even if it's moderately munged.
