As just mentioned to someone with a rounded fill plug - find a nut that
fits in there, set it so it sticks out a bit, weld it in place and undo.
  The heat/current flow of the welding will likely destroy the corrosion
bond between the steel plug and the alum. alloy tranny casing.

And now you know why everyone says to undo the fill plug first...
