Oh man that sucks...I had the same thing happen to me but not on a oil pan...All I did was seal up the bolt and make a new one...Yeah ghetto but it works...I seen people talking about ez out and stuff in that nature..But I really can talk since I havent tried it....Best of luck bro.

Your best bet would to be using a smaller sized socket to beat it on (done several times throughout the years) or use a chizel/punch and beat it counter clockwise.
But the real problem is that dustin is a girl and he is using his "lifeline" thread to help him, hah..

thank you Jeff, yes its impossible to get to with a pair of vise grips (i posted that like 5 times on honda-tech and they still said that).
yes i was using a 12pt accually, is that bad? anyway we got it off. think my friend used a 6pt regular socket and got it off (the only 10mm i have is a 12pt, lots all the others )
