so, anyone have any ideas on how to remove the most stubborn oil drain bolt you could possibly imagine? second time it's been over-torqued from BMW of nashville, and now that the car is actually mine and I'm maintaining it, I can't get this fugger out to change the GD oil!
13 mm wrench - fail - stripped to hell
standard alternative to metric size (13mm - 1/2") - fail - stripped more
(at temp):
extractor socket thingy - fail - ate more of bolt
vice-grips - fail - ate even more of bolt
short of drilling, any ideas?
