I posted earlier which I guess might have been missed.  But the E-Z out method DID work.
 
I drilled a small pilot hole 1st (1/4 inch) and let the oil drain.  Then went to a 7/16 inch.  Banged in a 1/2 E-Z out and the plug came right out.
 
I don't think the plug was in there that tight.  I think the PO stripped out the Allen head so bad there was nothing left to grab.  I've owned the car for 18 years and have never changed the Trans oil.
 
I did have access to a lift or the drilling would have been next to impossible due to the amount of pressure that was required to drill it out.
 
Thanks for all the input

This has been a feel-good thread for me thus far.  I always thought it
was I who was ham fisted or uncoordinated, but I see the emperor never
did have any clothes on after all.  One good thing though, easy outs have
helped me hone my welding, blind drilling and cursing skills over the
years... ;-)
