Craftsman,Irwin and other companies make a set of extractors for stripped bolts. I have a set of blue point they work very well for this purpose.
Channel locks or a pipe wrench may also work but I would buy a set of extractors. Napa,Pep Boys and other parts stores carry them.
You can also file the head down to a smaller size.

A small pipe wrench usually works for me.

I had the same problem, unfortuantely self induced! I got pissed off and told the wife to get an oil change done by someone else! The mechanic took a pipe wrench and spun the bolt out in two seconds. I felt pretty dumb after that, but I didn't forget that trick!

The parts stores sell new bolts after you take the old one out.

A Good Pair of ViseGrips and a new Oil pan bolt.

If you have no luck getting the drain plug off - You can get a hand pump and suck out the oil from the dipstick tube, but the oil must be HOT HOT. It wont suck all of it out tho "Half a Quart left or so", but you never get it all out anyway with the plug.
Hand pump 6 bucks with the small tubing. Hot oil isnt fun so be smart.

OK got it out had tried vise grip and pipe wrench twice and all it did was slip off the bolt ,tried again today used pipe wrench after a couple of times it started to move got the bolt out and replace with new one,glade i didn't have to remove oil pan

thanks for the reply
