Rounded oxygen sensor?

Anyone have a trick to getting a rounded off oxygen sensor out? Ive soaked it in penetrant and put heat on it and nothing. Regular wrench rounded it straight off, vice grips just turn also because the things so soft (and stuck). I was thinking of breaking if off and either trying to extract it from the center or just getting it out in pieces. Bad idea? Good idea?

Try a pipe wrench first. A decent one with clean sharp teeth. That's always my go to before I get crazy and look for an extractor.

If you don't have any luck take a picture from your angle of attack and I'll see what I can MacGyver.
