pipe wrench, small bottle jack.. usually gets them.. if it wont. sometimes you can take a cold chissle, start them intot he side and turn them out.
lastly.. and one that always works for me.. get a big hex nut and tack weld it to the rounded head of the plug.. then turn out with a wrench.
I have seen some use a file or grinder to grind flats into the old head to do the same.. IMHO.. welding a nut on is easier.. YMMV
I've never NOT gotten a drain nut off using one of those methods.
did have to drill a level check plug and ez-out it one time though..
