I think you really need a air impact wrench as well as the special napa fitting.
I just had my mechanic do it with the impact wrench.

Go to the hardware store. Buy a punch or similar device (a file works as well). Then use a grind wheel to grind the tip of the punch so that it fits the X-plug just as a flathead screwdriver would fit a screw.
Total cost to me: $6.
Trip to hardware store: 20 minutes
Time to swap-out X-plug: 5 minutes
Easy as pie. Clearly, it's only a good idea if you have a grindwheel or something similar.
