As you can see, the plug was already stripped before I touched it. I tried a 1/4" allen socket and it did just what I thought it would - Nothing. more
1. Try a metric socket. I think a 7 mm may be close in size.
2. If number 1 fails, try beating a torx socket into the plug. (unlikely to work, but worth a shot)
3. If I get to this stage, I'm thinking a right angle drill and 1/4" bit. I don't know if I can get it in there or not, but if I can, I can at least get the water out of the block. I can deal with getting the plug out later.
4. If I get to here, I'm done. I'll drain everything that I can once again, pull the thermostat, and fill it with undiluted regular antifreeze. Hopefully, that will save the block, but I realize I'm gambling with this plan. It's a last resort sort of thing. [links]
Fast forward to this past Sunday. I armed myself with a set of snap on allen sockets and my wife's make up mirror for another attempt. With the mirror I was kind of able to (kind of) see what I am dealing with. I took my phone and was able to get a picture of the side of the block.

A radiator drain petcock valve, or shut-off valve, allows the radiator to be drained without removing it from the vehicle. This simple valve or bolt can be easily unscrewed to drain, then sealed back to fill. Frequent use of the radiator petcock or corrosion can cause its threads to strip. When this happens, the petcock can no longer seal your radiator from coolant leaks. If you notice your car is leaking coolant, check the condition of the radiator petcock. If you notice a leak from this area, replace the petcock with a new one from O'Reilly Auto Parts. We also carry all the hoses, hose clamps, and coolant you need for your complete repair. here
