Sticky, don't sweat it. They are crap from the factory but are easy enough to get out even when stripped. Each time I changed the oil I remember thinking I should do something about the crappy drain plug put never did until finally it stripped. All I did is put a little grease on a 14mm (IIRC) allen and roll it in some sand. Gripped just fine. Make sure you have a bar or long handled ratchet and that the socket is absolutely level. Failing all this, at least you are mobile and can take it to a shop for help Fortunately the aftermarket ones work well.
