Radiator Drain plug stripped

I am trying to extract a radiator drain plug that is massively stripped/seized in my radiator. I tried a screw extractor however all it has done is just make the crater bigger in the plug. Please help.

If your trying to flush your radiator, you can just take off your lower radiator hose.

Ha same thing happened to me.

I will personally be buying a new radiator and flushing it with the hose first and then re-filling the new radiator.
