i have to deal with stripped plugs on transmissions all the time, and had to deal with both a stripped drain and fill plug on my cobalt after the previous owner stripped them. what i like to do with allen heads that are stripped is first try hammering a socket just larger, sometimes you get lucky finding something close going from metric to standard. if that doesnt work, try a torx socket. failing that, i break out my big chisel and 20oz hammer. what i do is on one side of the plug ill drive the chisel straight in till it makes an indent, then drive it at roughly a 45 degree angle in the direction to loosen it. the sharp blow will drive the chisel in and should help turn the bolt. i do this all the time and generally have great success.

fyi- if you buy new plugs from gm, only ask for the fill plug, or if you need both, get 2 fill plugs. they are different part numbers, the difference is the drain plug has an added magnet that comes out of the plug easily. the fill plug is $6, the drain plug is $35.

My fault. I was mistaken about the impact driver. If you've done this on a f23 drain plug than i would appreciate a picture since I don't see how it could be done. I don't pretend to be an expert so I'm not doubting it can be done I just don't see how.

Sorry to resurrect the thread, but I'm also interested in the part numbers for the plugs
