Do you mean the plug's real tight in there, and the head of it's rounded off so you can't get it out ? 

Have you tried a six sided socket ?

If that doesn't work they I'd use a small blunt cold chisel or engineers punch to tap the head of the drain bung around a tiny bit, a little on the left, then a little on the right, then a little on the left again, then try the six sided socket again. Put the socket on then give it a tap with a hammer to make sure it's right on and to loosen the grip of the drain bung. Then you need to apply as much pressure as the grip of the socket will allow, and hold it there till the plug begins to move.

It you mean the drain plug is out but the threads are stripped in the case where it goes, you could ask at an auto shop and them will be able to get you a slightly oversized plug.

If the bung has a flange, try tapping that around with a small slightly blunt cold chisel, or a nice new engineers punch with a sharp (90 degree) edge to it's end. If there's no flange then try tapping on the flats, near the ridge the socket usually touches. If you use a chisel there, you can sometimes raise a little metal on a couple of flats and it's enough, with the nudge from tapping, to allow the six sided socket to grip. Tapping the plug on it's end might also loosen it a little, and at the same time splay the edges of the hex, allowing a little more grip for the socket. Don't hit too hard anywhere, or use too sharper chisel.. The idea is to raise a little metal as much as move the plug.

You can get  stripped nut and bolt remover sets.  They  have a  reverse twist so  when  you drive the one  that  has the best bite onto the bolt head or nut they bite into it.  When  you  turn them  with your ratchet wrench the bite in deeper with the torque to remove the nut / bolt.

      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      I have a 2016 Arctic Cat 500 and recently noticed some oil leaking on the engine block to the right of the oil filter. It's near two metal lines going in and out of the engine block. I think one of the lines is called an engine oil line. I have a photo I'm going to try and attach. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to start tearing into the engine if I don't have to. I think maybe a gasket or something blew around one of these lines. The ATV runs fine otherwise. Doesn't overheat or anything.
