Default primary drain plug

It seems like the primary drain plug is stripped out (the torx part). Last fluid change was done by an indy and I can't get it loose. Any suggestions on how to get it out would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to take it back to the same guy again, I'm starting to wonder if he really changed it last time.

Default Primary Drain

Try a 5/8" box end wrench. Careful not to over torque it when you reinstall.

This is the primary drain, it fits flush to the bottom of the case under the clutch.

You sure it's Torx and not an Allen plug?

Yeah, that. Mine is an allen head, not a torx head.

I can use a Crescent wrench on mine, if need be to remove.

I don't remember any drain plugs that were torx. You sure you're looking at the right thing?
