I've had this happen twice so far. The torque spec for the plug is only about 18 ft-lbs, so it should be pretty easy to remove. The first time, I put a torque wrench on it to try and tighten it a bit to find out what they used and stopped when I got to 80 ft-lbs and still hadn't made it budge. The second time I did like you: 6 pt and a breaker bar = rounded plug that had to be chisled off. The dealer got it loose and gave me a new plug.
I like the theory about heat being the culprit. I pretty much came to the same conclusion.
Regards,
Brian
