Default 4.6 3V Drain Plug need help!!!!!

I can't find a wrench or socket in any of my sets to fit my oil drain plug. Everything I've used other than vice grips begins to strip the head. What are you all using??

Thanks!

Yep. They are almost identical sizes.

The OP must not have a very big set of sockets and wrenches...

I have enough common sense and tools to put my leveling kit and rear blocks on, but not my drain plug it seems. Thanks for the info.
