Agreed.
Although, simply smacking it may not allow it to release and could further strip the hex.
To guarantee release:
Drain the oil from the top using a topsider. Borrow one if you must.
Heat the drain plug with a propane torch for about three minutes. Try to avoid heating the pan.
Remove the plug. It won't require much effort as the plug has lengthened slightly and unloaded the crush washer.
