You can get those bolt extractor things. I stripped the fill plug on my differential and had to use that to remove the bolt.

is it a square hex sticking out or a 4 sided socket that you put a ratchet in?

Its not easy to get to but you'll probably have to drill that plug out. Use one of those side drills for more clearance, sears has em. Buy the new plug first, of course. But If its an outy bolt, you could maybe tap it loose with a chisel before doing all this.
If all else fails you may have to partially or completely pull the transmission, or at least unbolt parts to let you get to the filler plug. Another reason i dont put my drain plugs in super tight.
And of course Youll want to flush the trans really good after this to get the chips out.
