You could try a slightly oversized star drive (torx drive) the plug is only aluminium so just tap the drive into the rounded socket and it will undo if your carefull.

I have found the best solution to get an allen bolt with the internal hex has been wrecked is as follows.Take a short length of stranded copper wire AWG 16 or so strip back 3 cm, spread the strands of wire across the internal hex then take your allen wrench and hammer gently into the hex this will tighten things up so you should be able to undo the fastener.

Take off the skid plate. Use a small chisel and knock it loose. From now on use the right size torx as it grabs better. I have seen quite a few minders carrying torx instead of allen. The torx gets a better bite the first try.

PS the oil filler plug can be used until you get the proper parts.
