I know this is an old thread, but this finally happened to me. For others that might see this, to keep the extractor in place (after beating it with a sledge {not recommended}), i used a floor jack and a block of wood to apply pressure and keep it in place as I turned it with my cresent wrench. What a nightmare! Had I resorted to the jack earlier in the process, it might have saved the engine some abuse... Good luck.1 point

Thanks for the write-up. I had fixed mine on the weekend with a cut down #5 screw extractor.

I had the same problem, I was able to get the bolt out using a black & decker screw extractor set, I had to cut the tip off the #5 bit in order to get it to grab. the bit was too long otherwise... It worked flawlessly and required no drilling or hammering... These photos are of my oil drain plug from my Boxster 987, I replaced the drain plug with a drain plug from Pelican Parts, it was listed as a drain plug for 986 but it worked fine.
