Sump Bolt

Now that the dealer warrantee on my 9k 2.0 LPT has expired I will perform my own servicing.
I tried to change the oil today! The sump plug was so tight it has rounded! So tight in fact, I suspect that the dealer must have employed a gorilla to carry out the last service (there were a few other problems with the car when it was returned last time!).
I have serviced all of my Saabs in the past and have never experienced this problem after I have torqued the plug (only once before - after a dealer had previously changed the oil).
OK, I will stop moaning.
The question is now - how do I get the rounded sump plug out??
Any suggestions much appreciated.
BTW I have not rouned it too much, there are some flats left on the bolt.
