ok first you need a hammer and a chisel or metal punch with a flat tip(like a flat head screwdriver blade) First use the punch dead on to make a slot in the plug towards the top of the plug not the center. then hold the chisel at a 45 degree angle at the slot you made. hit it a few times and it should start to turn.

Vice grips all the way, the filler plug shouldn't be too torqued
and always, always, always take out the fill plug first when changing any fluids (of course you know that now )
