just in case, don't drain your xmission until you are certain you can get the fill plug out!
Agree with this (though I can't attest one way or the other on the "strong like bull" statement!).

Mine's a 6-speed, and I was using 101 Projects---I was confused for awhile as well.

At a minimum (while you're devising new approaches to the problem), once or twice a day spray a little more PB Blaster on the fill plug. In this kind of situation I've also, following the spraying, tapped the plug lightly with a small ball peen hammer, at various points around the perimeter. Don't get carried away---light taps only. In my experience, this will sometimes encourage penetration down the threads and help loosen things up.
