Fill plug is in a tight location, on the passenger side with the frame blocking access.
I could barely just get a ratchet head up in there.

I'll have to take it to a shop and have them remove it.
I figure they could try to use a chisel method or a weld nut method.
Both will be hard, since there is very little clearance on the side of the gearbox.
At least you had the foresight of loosening the fill plug BEFORE removing the drain plug. Could have been a worse day than it was...
