Anyhow I got it off ok. Oil and filter changed! Installed the original drain plug.
Yesterday where I started to tackle this I was kind of tired from already changing out the spark plugs and tubes. So, I think a fresh start this morning helped.
Here's what the plug looks like.

What material is that? Aluminum? I can't imagine you would have been able to do that to a steel plug. Aluminum on the other hand is not a material that I would consider using this application.
