Get a few sockets (13-17mm) and put them on until one works.

you can get 90% of every bolt on a honda with 8,10,12,14,17,19 mm sockets/wrenches. If it's not 17, try 19, that would be the same size as your lug wrench in the trunk, at least on my accord it is. if it's not 14, 17 or 19, somebody changed it for a non honda part.

Youre trying to loosen the large bolt directly in the middle of the oil pan correct? If you cant do that then I would recomend you hold off on doing your first oil change. I can just see you unbolting all the little bolts that hold the oilpan to the block
