The oil change could be so simple, but the oil plug is stripped and stuck. What can I do

Does the plug require a big allen wrench to remove and the hexagonal hole is stripped out? Or are the threads ruined and the plug just turns without coming out?

check with local Honda dealer service and parts counter- likely a part number for a 1/2 mm oversized self tapping plug . Dennis Kirk Catalog had some 'stripped thread' repair drain plugs awhile back, various makes including Honda, Dorman specialty hardware parts catalog had car and motorcycle drain plugs with 'cutting' threads. Honda Car dealers sometime have the rubber plugs for stripped pans and one size was speced for Honda 750 as well as Civic in selection box. Rubber plug for $1.95 or new pan for $299.95- check oil some more, don't worry about couple drops of oil underneath.

Grab it with ViceGrips and pull while extracting. The threads Might be ok in the sump (doubtful as Aluminum.). You may need a chisel. Tap it oversize and replace w/oversize plug, or replace it with an oversize, or get an oversize self-tapping plug kit from a car parts place or ACE. Or, helicoil. Flush the sump with kerosene before adding Fresh oil. Replace oil filter if it has one, too.

Helicoil it. You may have to remove the sump to be able to drill out the old thread and drill the pilot hole straight.

not easy , you may deposit metal particles( swarf) into the oil , get an expert to extract the plug and rethread the hole

Have it drilled out and a helicoil inserted so that a new plug can be fitted. You will have to take it to a dealer for this repair.

Get an "easy out." It is a drill bit with a reverse twist. You need a drill with a reversing feature. Get them at any hardware store. Run the drill bit into the damaged plug and it will come out.
