If You can get it of the ground for clearance use a socket wrench and a breaker bar it should lossen the bolt and allow you to take it out. When you do this it will sort of sound like you are breaking the metal but don't worry it won't when it finally come's loose you should hear a kind of craking noise coming from it. it will then be ready to take of the breaker bar and just us a socket wrench. this is a very common problem for most people. it just mean's that the mechanic cross threaded it. good luck
heat it a little bit and it will come out,a little heat goes a long way on removing those,they probably overtightened it the last time you had the oil changed on it,good luck.
first make sure you are turning it the right way. righty tighty lefty loosey. don't mean to offend but um anyone who calls a tool a thingy really shouldn't be using them. just kidding. you will probably have to replace your oil pan.
make sure your turning it the right way. try pounding a 6 point socket on it, get 1 thats a size smaller and try that.
You need something like this:

Good Luck...
You may have to drill it out and replace it with a new bolt. I had a car one time that I had to replace the whole pan - the bolt in the old one was frozen solid.
