First......go get a new drain plug bolt.....you are going to need it.
You might try riding the bike so the engine is warm before you try to remove it....the aluminum expands more than the steel, and it mght be a bit looser.
If I was in that position and a "quality" set of vice grips didn't get the job done....I would weld a nut on the end of the bolt. Lay the bike on the side, and arc or mig weld on a large nut. Have a wrench handy and loosen up the drain bolt before it cools off. If you don't have a welder, take your new drain bolt, a large nut and matching wrench (best if the nut does not have shiny plating on it), to a local weld shop, or mechanic who has a welder, and get them to help you. No hacks or inexperienced guys......somebody who has been around a while.
