chisel it off, then replace, same as normal sump plug.

I actually swapped my old one for the newer torx style with washer rather than copper washer crushing type.

Do you mean hitting the corner to try and turn nut or lop it right off

hitting corner to spin it round...always possible the thread mounting will come loose (even when undoing normally)  as mine did, and I needed a nut braizing in instead
