TXC 310 Oil plug rounded---any suggestions to get it off?

Sears sells splined sockets that will likely get the plug out. Cheap and great trail=side tools. Try these before easyouts.

Those Sears, Lowe's, etc thru-sockets work really well on rim locks.

I think those are just for the 449/511.

Nope, I have TE 450 2010
Kit replaces the drain plug and side filter covers with 14mm socket heads

Alrighty guys.....for future reference if this happens to you, I would strongly urge the below kit from Sears. It's a low profile damage bolt and nut remover. Pick the right size, then you can put a regular wrench on it to remove. The fact that there's no room for a ratchet/socket (even a low profile one) made this absolutely ideal. Once the right tool was on, the bolt came out with no fuss. Happy to now have this in my toolbox, and I've ordered 2 backup drain plugs along with purchasing some better wrenches. My future procedure will always be to remove the hose completely, and put a closed end 12 point wrench on the nut. Doing it with the open end was the killer.

Also, many thanks to you guys for the suggestions. It's so nice to be able to ask a question like this, you all are so helpful.
