Need some advice - Oil drain plug damaged

I installed a magnetic drain plug at my last oil change and torqued it correctly. Today I was going to change oil and I could not get the drain plug out. In fact my allen rounded out the hex portion trying to unscrew it.

At this point this particular drain plug is toast so I'm thinking I'll go at it tomorrow with some vice grips and see what I can do. Doesn't look like there's much to hold on to.

Has anyone dealt with this situation that can give me some ideas, or options?

Thanks in advance.
