Sounds like it has been over tightened. Try slipping a bog closed end wrench over the end of the socket handle to get some extra leverage. And when you put the drain plug back in, use a copper gasket. If you change that copper gasket EVERY time you change your oil, you should not have to tighten the drain plug so tight.
