Stuck oil drain plug

Hi friends! The oil drain plug on my '97 900SE conv. w/2.0 turbo is stuck like you can't believe. I mean, this thing just won't budge. I bought the car in January and went to change the oil on it last week. The hex head is now rounded off and vice grips applied are doing nothing. I was able to remove most of the oil by going in through the oil return tube from the turbo into the pan with a suction device, but this is obviously not the right way to go long term. Any ideas? I'm afraid I'll break the damn thing off or wear it away with the vice grips. Thanks!
