Soak it in penetrating oil for a week or so, then drill it & use a GOOD extractor.

...just like any other threaded part that strips out.

well, it's a pain but the extractor is really the only way to go... unless you want to buy a new housing...

Eh, just drill another hole in it and use one of those rubber plugs that Dodge uses.

if the extractor doesnt work, drill another hole. u can use a marine plug, basically a nut and bolt with a thick rubber washer that expands as u tighten it. any hardware store will have it.i stripped a oil pan drain plug one time."thought i was loosening it when in fact i was tightening it" plug worked. no leaks.
