If it's really stripped, and it probably is, prepare the drill. Put a hole in it and use a screw extractor. It's a pain in the ***, but works.

If there is any part of the plug sticking out, try vice grips. Sometimes they can save the day.

DO WHAT HE SAID!!! Not to dis on the chisel, but I know how I get when something is frustrating, and me with a chisel and hammer is a VERY BAD IDEA. I sadly break things because somewhere in my head I believe that force solves problems...at any rate, not saying you have a bad temper, but I think drilling and using a screw extractor would do you a lot of good. Vise Grips are also a great way to remove stubborn ****...you better get a new plug esp. if you use these.
