Thanks for your advice.

I've been working on cars for years - definitely turning it counter-clockwise.  For what it's worth, it's most closely accepting a 17mm socket. Not quite perfect, but 17mm is closest.  I don't have whitworth wrenches to try.  But at 17mm, the plug may not be original.

If all fails, what do you think of drilling through the center of the plug, draining the oil, and then tapping the plug to fit a new smaller plug?
