Help me out, in deep sh*t here, as i see it ....
Changing the oil at a friend's house, but since i didn't have the right size wrentches i used an adjustable one, being persistent and also a dumbass i ended up stripping the bolt pretty badly. Going to go buy some WD-40 this morning and try once again, if anyone else has had this problem, please tell me how to get the bolt undone, stripped or not i could get a new one. Thanks a lot and all ideas welcome. - Max

I would try
First - have a replacement drain plug on hand.
Second - Use a large set of vice grip pliers and lock them on to whatever is left of the bolt head.
Third - If and when you get the plug out, replace with the new one, use a new copper washer, and only torque the drain plug to 20 ft/lbs.

I hav ehad to use an impact wronch to loosen the drain on both of our cars.
What a PITA, seems regardles of torque, they get so tight that they are a bugger to get off by hand.
BTW, you may want to have a small hammer handy to tap the vice grips and get the drain bolt loose.
Good luck!!!
