What is the best way to remove an oil galley plug?

One is in place yet someone took a punch to it and made a very nice hole - one of the nicer holes I have ever seen in an engine plug...(that someone being me) and tried prying it. Reluctant to drill it out - but maybe that is how its' done?

Put a BIG sheet metal screw or a lag bolt into that hole, and use a claw hammer or a shepherd's crook wrecking bar to pry it out.

Funny you say that - saw a lag bolt on the bench and did just that. Thanks.
