I believe you can buy bolt removers from Sears for fairly cheap. That should take care of it.

something like this but you wanna make sure that it has one to fit your drain plug... I think it's a 17mm....

That is what I was talking about, thanks for the link. That should get you taken care of. Then just get a replacement and take it easy on the new one.

replace it with a magnetic one when you get it out.

when u put a new one back on, make sure there is that crushable washer is there too and dont super over tighten it. i usually give it one half turn after i hand tighten it.
