HELP! Need Suggestions

Instead of using heat you can use a can of compressed air that will shrink the plug. But it sounds like the steel plug has galled with the alloy and more than likely will remove the thread from the sump when it is removed. I think a zinc based anti seize should be used with stainless steel in alloy cases. If you use the cold method sometimes tightening the plug slightly (before undoing) will help prevent the thread coming out.
