Default Stripped oil plug

Bought a bike and of course the oil drain bolt is stripped(not the threads the bolt head itself), so I tried grinding a slit in it with a dremal and tried a slot screwdriver but no luck, gonna try hammering a smaller cheap socket on it to see if that works, but regardless I'm done fighting the bastard for today so figured in the meantime check if any of you have any different ways I could try?

Thanks

Good set of stripped bolt removers will work. You can get a cheap set at a lot of hardware stores or even Amazon,ebay.Handy to have in the tool box. https://www.amazon.com/Irwin-Industr...sr_1_1?ie=UTF8

Thanks polaris tech, you're always helpful!

I will check a Canadian Tire if they have them.
