Default Problem changing oil

I have an 06 wolverine 450. i tried changing the oil but the drain plug is frozen and stripped. is there a special tool to take this plug out? like a socket that grabs the notches rather than a standard socket? what should i do??

ps. i had to make a new name on this forum. my other name (rsitalian) don't work anymore for some reason.

thanks

yea those sockets work good, if i gotta use a regular socket i use a 6 point, sometimes you can use a big pair of vise grips or a punch, chisel and a hammer and try to tap it off.
