I ended up by cutting a slot in the plug with a dremel or something. I then used a jack holding an air hammer chisel bit (just the bit, not the hammer) in place and turned the bit with vice grips. Lowered the jack gradually once it broke free. I then replaced the plug with the old oem one! Don't wanna do that again.
