Some people have had luck epoxying an allen wrench in the stripped out hole. maybe an easy-out would work also. If you can't get it off, you can take the cover off and work on it that way (or replace the cover - part # 6C3Z-9B249-C).
They do make an aftermarket plug that is MUCH better. Part # 6E7Z-9C082-A

Riffraff Diesel: HFCM OEM Water Separator Drain Upgrade Plug
You may have to take the cover off the HFCM...then the drill out the plug. Or you can just replace the cover if you can't get the plug out.
Here is the cover part number:
6C3Z-9C264-C

Are you sure on the manifold cover part # Zach? (I believe your part number is the WIF sensor kit, not the manifold cover ... AND it is an obsolete part number from what I have in my records)
TSB 06-3-10 says the part # is : 6C3Z-9B249-C

You maybe right...I'm trying to find the thread where I came up with that number. I went searching for WIF cover and came up with that number. I know that if you've got the fuel heater ('03 & '04) the replacement cover won't have the fuel heater (dis-continued with '05 and up MY trucks)....and has been the subject of some algae issues building up in the WIF housing.
