HPOP reservoir plug

So I did exactly what I'm NOT suppose to do and bunged ip my HPOP oil fill plug.
Does anyone have a link on info on how to repair?
Or do any of you kind folks have any advise to pass along, tips or tricks you may have used to remove it have bunging it up?
Thanks for any advise!!!

and if you can't get it with brut force lay the screwdriver down at a 45° angle and tap with a thing like in Mike's signature, LOL!! (hint, I don't mean the girl)
