Use a large left hand drill bit at SLOW speed to try and get it out.

I have a radiator drain plug I can ship you for cheap.

If it's not leaking I'd leave it. Pull the lower radiator hose if you need to drain it.

removing the front knock sensor will get rid of some too.

A relatively easy way to remove the piece is to heat up the tip of a screwdriver just hot enough to melt a slot/notch into the plug.
Make sure to center the blade, so you don't melt into the threads.
