Ross,

I'm in agreement with your blue loctite observation.  If there is a "safe" way to hit the plug with some heat and melt the plastic it should back off with ease.  You'll need something concentrated, hot and fast since heat will propigate ridiculously fast through the aluminum pan.  Of course for obvious liability reasons I have to say there is no "safe" way of heating up a pan of flammable liquids!

The Rube Goldberg solution is to remove the timing belt, and using another old timing belt and an electric drill, spin the accessory cog to run the oil pump manually and pump/drain the oil through the oil coller lines.
