Calm down there killer... No need to bump a post a mere hour after the first one.

Have you tried heating it? Not a ton of heat, but a bit...

Also, are you using the appropriately sized wrench/socket? I know that sometimes with drain plugs, a standard will fit better than a metric so try out a few different sizes to get the one that fits the best.

Ya heat it... if its stripped try some fluted bolt extractors, they work like magic!

I know of two different sized plugs that have been used on Blazers, a 12mm or a 15mm. I suggest a good box-end wrench for the job.
