You can but without the plug, you won't know how much to put in and too much is just as bad as too little.

Hi:
They make special tools to remove stripped bolts. They are sockets. See if the place you have your oil changed has them. Or, you could check at a parts store for one you need. It's hard to describe, but the socket is designed to spin on to the nut and tighten as you loosten the stripped bolt.
