2005 Chevy Impala, 3.4 L. Need to get the (aluminum) oil drain plug off. I've used pipe wrench, vice grips, bolt grips and liquid wrench.

wow, somebody way overtightened the plug. you most likely will have to replace the pan if you cannot get it out.

try hammering a socket on it to see if it will release.
