I went to change my oil today and both the filter and drain plug were not moving. I sprayed PB all over the plug but it wasnt going anywhere. Even worse, the plug seems to be stripped. I dont really want to drill out the plug (that would be a pain in the @$$), but I gotta get the plug out somehow. Any ideas?
 
Ok I am still wondering what the best way to do this would be. I need to drail the oil before I remove the pan. If I start drilling the screw out first, oil is going to get all over me/my drill. Is that my only option?

You can drop the pan with the oil in it.
