I did EXACTLY this on my 260E's first oil change.
Rounded it a little; smaller, 6 point socket, rounded it more, vise grips (12"!!) rounded it more, pipe wrench fully round by now. I tried the sears bolt extractors over the outside. Drilled most of the way through & tried an EZ-out. I had visions of drilling through, letting all the oil out and then snapping an EZ-out in the drilled hole so it would never hold oil again. What a *****!! Finally, the chisel on the edge trick. I took a couple of curls of the plug material off and then it turned about 1 1/2 RCH and came out nice as pie. There wasn't a touch of corrosion anywhere. It was beautiful once you got past the remains of the hex. The plug and its copper washer had just frozen to the pan as tight as any two metals could.
Now I use a dipstick sucker outer and don't worry about it.
