The correct size allen head is 6MM. My 700 was a very early model (#498) and it came with a torx head drain plug, which I also stripped. Polaris must put them in with a damn impact driver. In midstream polaris changed to the allen head drain plug. I took mine back to the dealer and he tapped a one size larger torx head socket into the stripped one and with the help of vize grips he got the stripped one out. I guess you could try the same procedure with yours, using a one size larger allen head. The dealer replaced my stripped torx drain plug with the 6mm hex plug. If all else fails, have your dealer take it out.
