86 Rx-7, hasn't run in years

so my dad gave me this car, has not ran in over 4 years. but he used to drive it all the time. we are currently flushing all of the fluid lines to make sure no leaks or dirk or clags etc are in them and to help lubricate the engine and get fresh oil in. the oil pan plug is terribly hard to remove.if anyone has experience with this or has any help to give please do i thank you

Use a spray penetrant like PB Blaster.

Proper sized 6 point socket and a breaker bar. Or if it going to round off, weld a bar to it.
