Digger took a large fender washer and ground it down until it would fit in.
Some members use a Harbor Freight pry bar.
Clymer's says to use a Honda tool and lists their part number.
I had a piece of 1/8 flat stock I put a hole in so I could pry off of it.

I was able to get it off by pressing the chisel end of a pry bar into the groove and clamping onto the bar with vise grips to turn the bar. I got behind the bar and leaned into it with my body weight to keep good purchase on the groove.
I also purchased a replacement cap that has a 10 mm allen socket so I don't have to fight that battle again.
Part number: 09259-36008 (at powersportsplus.com)

Thats what happens when people who do not understand mechanical things touch them. No need to crank that thing in like its a head bolt. Feel the threads stop, & give a light twist. It has an O-ring, its not gonna leak,

I am having the same problem. The specified tool is BikeMaster Timing Cover Plug Wrench 04-073
http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/BikeMaster-Timing-Cover-Plug-Wrench-04-07...
which is equivalent to MotionPro's tool (08-0087). The key to opening it is use something the exact (3/16") width as the slot before you strip it, and the tool won't provide you that. Verslays idea of using the brake pads is the best fit I found.
You can also let the engine run, then put ice on the plug to contract it
. Haven't tried it yet.
Also if you are looking for TDC take the spark plug out and use the electric starter or roll the bike to move piston.

the first time I did.
trying to "catch" TDC in the compression stroke, turning the engine from the starter and watching the valves.

the back of an old savage brake pad and a pair of vise grips to hold/twist works well

The one dollar option is the old style U.S. dollar the ones the size of the old silver dollars of my youth. Don't use a real silver one its worth more than the tools you can buy, but if you have one of the later sandwich dollars from the 70s it will work great.

Pressure, or, straight torque, has less effect than impact. Build a tool with an arm on it, so someone can seat it in the slot & you can spank on it. Time spent making the tool fit the groove is time well spent,
Read everything you can on making it let go. A light "spanking" is a good idea. A pin punch & a Very Light hammer applied with NOthing More than a quick wrist that Does Not follow thru, to drive the metal back & rebuilding the edge of the groove is a good plan,

I have a HF chisel set, and the large chisel fits in the slot perfectly. The body of the chisel is 6 sided and a 12mm wrench ( or somewhere around there) fits perfectly. Take it off gently and you don't need to gorilla torque the thing when you put it back on.
